Humicola insolens cutinase with N-terminal His-Tag

The Humicola insolens Cutinase (HIC) (EC 3.1.1.74, cutinase) belongs to the serine-α -β-hydrolase family (Nielsen et al., 2005) and can be used to degrade polymers like polyethylene terephthalate (Espino-Rammer et al., 2013). The catalytic pocket consists of the triad of a serine, histidine and aspartic acid (Kold et al., 2014) and the enzyme has its optimal activity at 70°C (Hunsen et al., 2008).
