Activity

Enzyme Activity

This section covers plastic-degrading enzyme activity from three angles: measured reaction kinetics, the polymer substrates that enzymes break down, and results from plate-based halo assays.

Kinetics

kcat · Km · kcat/Km

Kinetic parameters for plastic-degrading enzymes, both measured in the lab and predicted by machine learning. Covers turnover number (kcat), Michaelis constant (Km), and catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km).
