科学家解释酶如何能“吃掉”塑料污染
||
Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6通过分泌一种酶（一种蛋白质，能加速化学反应）称为PETase，它可切割聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（polyethylene terephthalate，PET）某些化学键（酯），留下细菌能够吸收的较小分子，使用它们中的碳作为食物来源。
As a result, several teams have been trying to understand exactly how PETase works by studying its structure. In the past 12 months, groups from Korea, China and the UK, US and Brazil have all published work showing the structure of the enzyme at high resolution and analysing its mechanisms.
