Decoding PETase diversity through global landscape profiling: toward superior enzymes for plastic recycling.
A recent study by Seo, Hong, Park, et al. maps the global fitness landscape of PET-degrading enzymes, identifying superior PETases for plastic depolymerization. The engineered high-performance variant surpasses benchmarks under industrial conditions. This study provides a powerful framework for enzyme discovery, advancing biocatalytic solutions for plastic waste recycling.
