Abstract: An esterase from Clostridium botulinum (Cbotu_EstA) previously reported to hydrolyze the biodegradable polyester poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) was redesigned to improve the hydrolysis of synthetic polyesters. Increased activity was indeed observed for del71Cbotu_EstA variant, which performed activity… read more here.
