As the PET substrate binds to the enzyme, its carbonyl bond
 +
attached to the first benzene ring must be harbored close to Serine in
 +
the catalytic triad (Fig. 2). Serine gets polarized by histidine, which is
 +
then stabilized by aspartic acid. Polarized Serine will attack the
 +
carbonyl bond (C-O) of the polyester, resulting in a tetrahedral in-
 +
termediate, which is then stabilized by the oxyanion hole. The hy-
 +
drolysis procedure is completed by a second nucleophilic attack

mediated through a water molecule "PEThydrolase-insilico-engineering"
