Abstract
Enzymes have potential for recycling plastics such as PET, a polyester used in textiles and single-use packaging. Here, the authors identify and characterize additional PET-active biocatalysts and expand the number and diversity of thermotolerant scaffolds for enzymatic PET deconstruction.
