Researchers have been investigating various mutations of PET hydrolase to enhance is catalytic ability. One group of researchers, Tournier et. al., have made mutations in the PET hydrolase active site. They identified the key residues involved in the catalytic mechanism by using a model of the onto the enzyme. The site, mainly a hydrophobic pocket, contained 11 residues targeted for mutagenesis. From this, they identified that the majority of enzymes specific activity went down, however, the mutation of the F243 to either isoleucine or tryptophan actually increased specific activity.
