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. Ester bonds in PET plastic are mimicked by p-nitrophenol. Each PETase variant cleaves the ester bond; once the bond is broken it emits a wavelength at 405 nm. This emission can be read by a plate reader; if PETase is catalytically active, absorbance at 405 should be perceived. The following figures show the results of the aforementioned assay for this variant.

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.
