Comparative molecular docking and molecular-dynamic simulation of wild-type- and mutant carboxylesterase with BTA-hydrolase for enhanced binding to plastic.

According to the literature review, microbial degradation of polyethylene terephthalate by PETases has been detected effective and eco-friendly. However, the number of microorganisms capable of such feats is limited with some undesirable bioprospecting results. BTA-hydrolase has been already reported capable of degrading polyethylene terephthalate.
