=== Catalytic Triad ===
=== Catalytic Triad ===
LCC catalyzes the breakdown of PET using a classic serine hydrolase mechanism involving a <scene name='10/1075246/Catalytic_triad3/1'>catalytic triad</scene> of Ser165, His242, and Asp210. The reaction begins when His242 deprotonates Ser165, which activates it as a nucleophile. Ser165 then attacks the carbonyl carbon of an ester bond in the PET polymer. This forms a tetrahedral intermediate. This intermediate is stabilized by an oxyanion hole. The oxyanion hole is formed by the backbone amides of Met166 and Tyr95. The intermediate collapses; one product is released and an acyl-enzyme intermediate is formed. A water molecule, activated by His242, then attacks the acyl-enzyme, releasing the second product and resetting the enzyme’s active site.  
LCC catalyzes the breakdown of PET using a serine hydrolase mechanism with a catalytic triad of Ser165, His242, and Asp210. (1) The reaction begins when His242 deprotonates Ser165, which activates it as a nucleophile. (2) Ser165 then attacks the carbonyl carbon of an ester bond in the PET polymer to form a tetrahedral intermediate. (3) This tetrahedral intermediate is stabilized by an oxyanion hole formed by the backbone amides of Met166 and Tyr95. (4) The intermediate collapses; one product is released and an acyl-enzyme intermediate is formed. (5) A water molecule, activated by His242, then attacks the acyl-enzyme. This releases the second product and resets the enzyme’s active site.

Asp210 and His242 activate Ser165, which then performs a nucleophilic attack on the ester carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This intermediate breaks down, which leads to ester bond cleavage and product release, with the main chain nitrogens of Met166 and Tyr95 acting as an oxyanion hole for transition state stabilization.]]
