Webinar Twist Bioscience: Designing Enzymes for the Infinite Recycling and Upcycling of Plastic
Kami mengundang Bapak/Ibu untuk dapat bergabung dalam webinar dari Twist Bioscience, dengan topic “Designing Enzymes for the Infinite Recycling and Upcycling of Plastic”.
Acara webinar ini akan dilaksanakan pada:
Hari, tanggal : Rabu, 24 Mei 2023
Pukul : 09.00 WIB
Produksi plastik murni menimbulkan ancaman sangat besar terhadap lingkungan. Emisi gas rumah kaca global dapat dikaitkan dengan produksi bahan plastik murni. Pengelolaan limbah plastik dan solusi daur ulang yang buruk dapat berarti bahwa sebagian besar plastik bekas konsumsi terakumulasi sebagai polusi, menyebabkan kerusakan lingkungan yang berat.
Simak bagaimana Dr. Matthew Spence akan berbicara tentang pengembangan platform desain enzim baru menggunakan Twist Synthetic DNA untuk rekayasa poly(ethylene) terephthalate (PET) hydrolases yang dapat mendegradasi plastic PET secara cepat di bawah kondisi industri yang keras, sementara enzim tersebut hanya berbagi distant homology dengan enzim alaminya.
The production of virgin plastics poses a monumental environmental threat. Global greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed alone to the production of virgin plastic material. Poor end-of-life plastic waste management and recycling solutions can mean that the overwhelming majority of post-consumer plastic accumulates as pollution, imposing untold environmental damage.
Hear how Dr Matthew Spence used Twist Synthetic DNA to develop a novel enzyme design platform for engineering poly(ethylene) terephthalate (PET) hydrolases that can rapidly degrade PET plastic under harsh industrial conditions while sharing only distant homology to natural enzymes.
Key learnings from this webinar:
- Use of enzymes to recycle plastic waste and reduce environmental threat
- Challenges in enzyme stability and catalytic efficiency in the application of enzymatic recycling technologies
- Novel enzyme design platform developed by Dr Spence's team that engineer poly(ethylene) terephthalate (PET) hydrolases to rapidly degrade PET plastic under harsh industrial conditions
