Efficient depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene furanoate by engineered PET hydrolase Cut190

Key points 1. The increased surface area of PET promotes its hydrolysis by Cut190, supporting the surface erosion mechanism by a two-step process (endo-type scission of a polymer chain and exo-type hydrolysis of depolymerized fragments). 2. Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride functioned as a binding m...
