Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the genetic engineering of enzymes, and in particular relates to mutants of PET decomposing enzymes, coding genes and applications thereof. Background technique
[0002] PET (polyethylene terephthalate) has been industrially produced in large quantities for a long time due to its plasticity, transparency and durability. In 2013 alone, the world produced about 56 million tons of PET plastic. Due to the lack of enzymes or extremely low activity that can degrade PET in nature, PET plastics are difficult to be degraded naturally in nature, and become a kind of pollutant, which has a great impact on the environment.
[0003] PET decomposing enzyme ISF6_4831 is a kind of cutinase. Cutinase is a decomposing enzyme that can catalyze the decomposition of ester groups in cutin and produce a large amount of fatty acid monomers. It is a member of the α / β decomposing enzyme family with a smaller molecular weight. The catalytic activity of...
