IsPETase-ML Mut 1 with C-terminal Hexahistidine Tag
BBa_K2910002 encodes a variant of the Ideonella sakaiensis PETase, optimized for E. coli, which degrades poly(ethylene terephthalate. Using a Machine Learning Algorithm to optimize hydrophobicity content, the thermostability of the protein is predicted to be improved.

In order to assess the enzymatic activity of PETase variants relative to the wild type, and W159H S238F PETase (BBa_k2910000), p-nitrophenyl butyrate assays were performed.

This emission can be read by a plate reader; if PETase is catalytically active, absorbance at 405 should be perceived.
