A Phasin with Many Faces: Structural Insights on PhaP from Azotobacter sp. FA8 [PDF]
Phasins are a group of proteins associated to granules of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Apart from their structural role as part of the PHA granule cover, different structural and regulatory functions have been found associated to many of them, and ...

Directed Evolution of an Efficient Polycarbonate Depolymerase With Exceptional Operational Stability
Here, we show that well studied PET hydrolases can be re‐engineered via directed evolution to deconstruct alternative aromatic‐containing commodity polymers. Introduction of only three mutations into LCCICCG was sufficient to generate an efficient polycarbonate hydrolase with high operational stability that can fully depolymerize a polycarbonate sample
