Biochemical Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Film Degradation Kinetics of Engineered IsPETase Variants by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda

“…I also developed a directed evolution assay of IsPETase using solid PET film substrates and found that mutation T116P improved maximum product accumulation by 30% based on kinetic studies and thermostability, while mutations S238N and S290P improved purification yield and thermostability. Finally, my collaborators and I found that the activity of IsPETase is impacted by surface crowding and developed a biochemical model to analyze the kinetic data of mutants. …”

The greening of terminal concessions in seaports by Notteboom, Theo, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee

“…Not all instruments have the same likeliness of being embraced or implemented by port authorities, in part because of a low perceived contribution, high associated regulation costs, or simply because the port authority is unlikely to have jurisdiction in that specific area. Measures related to information reporting and some types of harm-based standards, design standards, and technology specifications are relatively easy to implement in a concession setting. …”
