TJUSLS-China # P-eat: A targeted mutation of PEase to improve thermostability # Polyethylene plastic (PE) can be seen everywhere in our lives. High production and low recovery rate make PE plastic pollution a worldwide environmental problem. Current treatment of PE requires the oxidation of C-C bond using physical or chemical methods. PEase, discovered recently, is the only enzyme that can oxidize PE at room temperature. However, PE plastics will change their internal molecular arrangement and are more likely to be oxidized at high temperatures. ...
