Article Synopsis
- - Serine hydrolases, while useful for recycling PET plastics, have limitations due to their 3D structure, which restricts their effective application conditions.
- - Researchers designed a 25 amino acid thermostable peptide called HSH-25 that mimics the catalytic features of serine hydrolases and showed potential for depolymerizing PET.
- - The study confirmed that HSH-25 exhibits enzyme-like activity in a specific pH range and was effective in degrading PET substrates, with results visualized through atomic force microscopy.
Objective: This study investigated the surface roughness of enamel after debonding and instrumentation with commonly used methods.
Methods: Part I: a survey was sent to active members of the American Association of Orthodontists to determine popular bonding, debonding, and polishing protocols. Part II: brackets were bonded to the buccal surface of 30 extracted human premolar teeth.
