Unlike traditional recycling strategies, biodegradation is a sustainable solution for disposing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste. PETase, a newly identified enzyme from Ideonella sakaiensis, has high efficiency and specificity towards PET and is, thus, a prominent candidate for PET degradation. On the basis of biochemical analysis, we propose that a wide substrate-binding pocket is critical for its excellent ability to hydrolyze crystallized PET. Structure-guided site-directed mutagenesis revealed an improvement in PETase catalytic efficiency, providing valuable insight into how the molecular engineering of PETase can optimize its application in biocatalysis.
