Enhancing high-temperature degradation of polyethylene terephthalate through a synergistic division of enzyme labour between a solid-degrading thermostable cutinase and a reaction intermediate-degrading thermostable carboxylesterase

This paper demonstrates that combining a solid-degrading cutinase with a solution-degrading carboxylesterase enables complete degradation of PET hydrolysis products into TPA at 60°C, even with residual solid PET.

N-terminal extensions strengthen hydrophobic inter-subunit interactions between HU's C-terminal domains to frustrate heterodimer formation

The paper shows that N-terminal extensions in HU proteins reduce heterodimer formation by stabilizing hydrophobic interactions in the C-terminal domains.
