The paper screens bacterial cutinases to identify those with PET hydrolysis activity, finding it rare and mostly within the canonical-fold family.

This study examines the relationship between substrate crystallinity, enzyme binding strength, and cellulase activity, revealing a linear free energy relationship with varying slopes linked to substrate crystallinity.

The paper investigates how crystallinity affects enzymatic degradation of PET, finding that high crystallinity limits enzyme activity due to conformational constraints and reduces productive sites on the polymer surface.
