Abstract
Few enzymes thus far can effectively deconstruct real-world plastic products comprising highly crystalline polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Recently in Nature Catalysis , Bell et al. developed a directed evolution platform for PETase engineering, generating a robust, thermally stable biocatalyst, HotPETase, capable of decomposing untreated PET samples (up to ∼41% crystallinity).
