Enzyme Information

3.1.1.101
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) hydrolase.
based on mapping to UniProt A0A0K8P6T7
(Ethylene terephthalate)(n) + H(2)O = (ethylene terephthalate)(n-1) + ethylene terephthalate.
-!- The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis, also produces small amounts of terephthalate (cf. EC 3.1.1.102). -!- The reaction takes place on PET-film placed in solution.
