The functionalization of synthetic polymers such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) to improve their hydrophilicity can be achieved biocatalytically using hydrolytic enzymes. A number of cutinases, lipases, and esterases active on polyethylene terephthalate have been identified and characterized. Enzymes from Fusarium solani, Thermomyces insolens, T. lanuginosus, Aspergillus oryzae, Pseudomonas mendocina, and Thermobifida fusca have been studied in detail. Thermostable biocatalysts hydrolyzing poly(ethylene terephthalate) are promising candidates for the further optimization of suitable biofunctionalization processes for textile finishing, technical, and biomedical applications.
通过使用水解酶对合成聚合物（如聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯）进行功能化，可以提高其亲水性。已经鉴定和表征了许多在聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯上具有活性的角质酶、脂肪酶和酯酶。来自茄病镰刀菌、嗜热毁丝霉、绒毛状嗜热丝孢菌、米曲霉、门多萨假单胞菌和热解纤维梭菌的酶已被详细研究。能够水解聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯的热稳定生物催化剂是进一步优化适用于纺织品整理、技术和生物医学应用的合适生物功能化过程的有前途的候选物。
