Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

A bifunctional endolytic alginate lyase with two different lyase catalytic domains from Vibrio sp. H204

Frontiers in Microbiology
Alginate lyases can fully degrade alginate into various size-defined unsaturated oligosaccharide products by β-elimination. Here, we identified the bifunctional endolytic alginate lyase Aly35 from the marine bacterium Vibrio sp. Strain H204.
