Structural and oligomeric characterization of substrate- and product-selective nylon hydrolases

This study characterizes three nylon hydrolases, identifying structural features and activity differences that inform their substrate specificity and potential for engineering.

Process optimization for enhanced enzymatic nylon deconstruction

This study optimizes reaction conditions for three nylon-degrading enzymes, achieving high product titers for PA6 and PA66 without enzyme engineering or substrate pretreatment, and demonstrates scalability for complex PA-based materials.

Identification and characterization of substrate- and product-selective nylon hydrolases

The paper identifies and characterizes diverse nylon hydrolases, showing that 40% of tested enzymes have significant activity, with some showing substrate selectivity for Nylon 6,6 over Nylon 6.
