| 3.5.1.117 | additional information | Agromyces sp. | nylon hydrolase degrades various aliphatic nylons, including nylon-6 and nylon-66. Nylons are synthetic polymers made from (a) a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine (e.g., for nylon-66 production), (b) an amino acid that is able to undergo self-condensation, or (c) its lactam, such as epsilon-caprolactam (for nylon-6 production). The enzyme reaction proceeds by degrading the solid polymer to soluble oligomers (step 1), followed by degrading the released soluble oligomers into smaller oligomers and/or monomers (step 2). During the polymer degradations, these two steps should proceed simultaneously. Nylon hydrolase (NylC) attacks the polymer chains that are exposed to the solvent, especially at positions where hydrogen-bonding between the polymer chains is partially weakened | ? | - |
