| Description : |
Cutinase that degrades cutin fibers prepared from tomato peels and hydrolyzes various fatty acid monoesters with acyl chain lengths of 2 to 18, with a preference for short-chain substrates (C4 substrate at most). Cannot hydrolyze olive oil. Is also able to degrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the most abundant polyester plastic in the world. Can also depolymerize poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), a synthetic aliphatic biodegradable polyester. |
