Analysis of microplastic properties

Understanding different types of microplastics, including their physical characteristics, chemical compositions, and behavior in the natural environment, is essential. This helps determine the best methods and mechanisms for decomposing microplastics.

Searching for or designing digestive enzymes suitable for degrading microplastics. This involves studying known enzymes and potential enzymes that may exist in the natural world, and determining their effectiveness in degrading different types of microplastics.

Screening and designing digestive enzymes

Enzyme activity and stability

Scientists need to evaluate the activity and stability of digestive enzymes during the process of degrading microplastics. The activity level of enzymes needs to be sufficiently high to effectively degrade microplastics, while stability ensures that the enzymes can maintain their activity over a prolonged period under specific conditions.
