General Objective: Design recombinant PET hydrolase enzymes through ancestral sequence reconstruction for the effective degradation of PET.
Specific objectives:
- Design PET hydrolase enzymes through ancestral sequence reconstruction.
- To evaluate the kinetic properties and esterase activity of the designed PET hydrolase enzymes by ancestral sequence reconstruction.
- Evaluate the physical and morphological properties of enzymatically treated PET plastic films.
