EC | 3.1.1.101 | ||
Accepted name: | poly(ethylene terephthalate) hydrolase | ||
Reaction: | (ethylene terephthalate)n + H2O = (ethylene terephthalate)n-1 + 4-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)carbonyl]benzoate | ||
Glossary: | poly(ethylene terephthalate) = PET 4-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)carbonyl]benzoate = mono(ethylene terephthalate) = MHET |
||
Other name(s): | PETase; PET hydrolase | ||
Systematic name: | poly(ethylene terephthalate) hydrolase | ||
Comments: | The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis, also produces small amounts of terephthalate (cf. EC 3.1.1.102, mono(ethylene terephthalate) hydrolase). The reaction takes place on PET-film placed in solution. | ||
