Results of CFPS
Overview
We utilized the cell-free system to express the enzymes which had been modified in 22 different sites. Then we used the proteins successfully expressed to degrade PET. Our expected goal was to screen mutations with higher enzyme activities than the wild type PETase. .
Detailed results
After static reaction at 39℃ for 5 days, we detected the characteristic adsorption peak of the product ,MHET, which has no other characteristic adsorption peak except in 260nm.

Summary
We successfully screened two mutants (R90A &I208V) with higher enzyme activity by site-directed mutation.
