Abstract
Cutinases(3.1.1.74) are serine esterases that belong to the α/β hydrolase family. Such enzymes are usually produced by phytopathogenic microorganisms in order to penetrate their hosts. Cutinase can degrade the stratum corneum in the leaves or the keratin of the cork in the bark. Cutinase hydrolyzes soluble esters, insoluble triglycerides and various polyesters. In addition to the hydrolysis reaction, cutinase also shows synthetic activity and transester activity. Therefore, as a multifunctional enzyme, cutinase has many fields of application. In recent years, it has been found that cutinase can biodegrade plastic and biomoodifie synthetic fibers. Cutinase is the most important enzyme in solving plastic pollution.
