Part Number Part Name Reference
BBa_K3039000 PETase R280A

This sequence is the Escherichia coli K12 (E. coli K12) codon optimized DNA of the R208A mutant of PETase, with an N-terminal His-tag. The His-tag was added to allow for conformation of expression and subsequent purification. This mutation has been reported in past papers to increase the activity of PETase.

BBa_K3039001 PETase T88A_S121E_D186H_R280A

Different mutations that have been reported in past papers to increase the activity of PETase have been combined into a novel mutant, in order to test if this would result in an overly active mutant. This sequence is the Escherichia coli K12 (E. coli K12) codon optimized DNA of the novel mutant of PETase, with an N-terminal His-tag. The His-tag was added to allow for conformation of expression and subsequent purification.
