Abstract
En 中文
• Committor-based enhanced sampling resolves competing PETase acylation pathways • LCCICCG follows a single stepwise route via a stabilized tetrahedral intermediate • Structural and Fukui-derived descriptors pinpoint key residues for catalytic activity • PETaseW159H/I208V mimics the LCCICCG mechanism, boosting the reaction rate by 24%
