Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most widely used plastics, commonly found in bottles, fibers, and many other products. It is a unique member of the plastic family as it can be broken ...

The monomers can then be reused for manufacturing ... showcasing the potential for enzymes to revolutionize how we handle plastic waste. It could also be a great way to recycle all those errant ...

There is some overlap (5 cases) due to enzyme monomers being shared between monomeric and multimeric enzymes. This high percentage of subunits of enzyme complexes involved in gene fusion events is ...

The enzyme is now so efficient that it can completely break the PET polymer down to its constituent monomers - the chemicals producers need to make new plastic. Prof Marty likens it to breaking ...

The monomers in each of the three dimers are related ... with the situation in other apoplastic hydrogen peroxide producing enzymes, such as the copper amine oxidases, which contain a modified ...
