Enzymatic degradation of synthetic polyisoprenes surfactant-free polymer emulsification

We report the enzymatic degradation of a synthetic polyisoprene with a cis  :  trans ratio of 56 : 27 for the first time. Utilizing a bioinspired surfactant-free emulsification strategy in water resulted in substantially increased enzymatic activities with the latex clearing protein Lcp K30 . A bioi...

Description
Summary:We report the enzymatic degradation of a synthetic polyisoprene with a cis  :  trans ratio of 56 : 27 for the first time. Utilizing a bioinspired surfactant-free emulsification strategy in water resulted in substantially increased enzymatic activities with the latex clearing protein Lcp K30 . A bioinspired emulsification strategy resulted in substantially increased enzymatic activities in the degradation of synthetic polyisoprene with the latex clearing protein Lcp K30 , even with cis  :  trans ratios of 56 : 27.
