Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation kinetics of evolved IsPETase variants using a surface crowding model by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda, Dong, Ziyue, Canova, Christopher T, Destro, Francesco, Cañellas, Marina, Hoffman, Mikaila C, Maréchal, Jeanne, Johnson, Timothy M, Zheng, Maya, Schlau-Cohen, Gabriela S, Lucas, Maria Fátima, Braatz, Richard D, Sprenger, Kayla G, Voigt, Christopher A, Sinskey, Anthony J

“…Hence, we develop a surface crowding model to analyze the biochemical effects of three hit mutations (T116P, S238N, S290P) that enhanced ambient temperature activity and/or thermostability. We find that T116P decreases susceptibility to crowding, resulting in higher PET degradation product accumulation despite no change in intrinsic catalytic rate. …”
