Discovery and characterization of substrate- and product-selective nylon hydrolases [PDF]
Structural DynamicsNylons are common industrial polyamides with few effective recycling options. As an alternative to mechanical or chemical recycling, enzymes could provide a selective and energy-efficient route to deconstruct nylons from mixed waste.

Hydrogenative Depolymerization of Nylons [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2020 The widespread crisis of plastic pollution demands discovery of new and sustainable approaches to degrade robust plastics such as nylons. Using a green and sustainable approach based on hydrogenation, in the presence of a ruthenium pincer catalyst at 150 °C and 70 bar H2, we report here the first example of hydrogenative depolymerization of ...
