Structural insight into molecular mechanism of poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation

Structural insight into molecular mechanism of poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a widely used plastic and its accumulation in the environment has become global problem. Here the authors report the crystal structure of a Ideonella sakaiensis PET-degrading enzyme and propose a molecular mechanism for PET degradation.
