The effect of aqueous solutions of selected ionic liquids solutions on Ideonella sakaiensis PETase with bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) substrate were studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations in order to identify the possible effect of ionic liquids on the structure and dynamics of enzymatic Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hydrolysis. The use of specific ionic liquids can potentially enhance the enzymatic hydrolyses of PET where these ionic liquids are known to partially dissolve PET. The aqueous solution of cholinium phosphate were found to have the smallest effect of the structure of PETase, and its interaction with (BHET) as substrate was comparable to that with the pure water. Thus, the cholinium phosphate was identified as possible candidate as ionic liquid co-solvent to study the enzymatic hydrolyses of PET.

Different Levels

Poly(N-alkylacrylamide) is a group of thermo-sensitive polymers that include poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), poly(N-n-propylacrylamide), poly(N-isopropylmethacryl-amide), and so on. The polymers exhibit different levels of lower critical solution temperatures (LCST) in aqueous solutions. In this article, their monomers and oligomers with 10 repeating units are selected, respectively, to demonstrate the cause of different LCST levels of the polymers in aqueous solutions using molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics calculations. The monomers have functional groups of different steric volume that greatly affect the conformational transition of chains and LCST levels of the polymers. A branched chain of N-propyl group in N-isopropylacrylamide and an additional methyl group at α-carbon in N-isopropylmethacrylamide both increase the steric effect, making it more difficult for monomers to draw closer and resulting in higher LCST levels of the polymers. In addition, the simulated results from their corresponding oligomers exhibit the similar trend to those from the monomers.
