Enzymatic synthesis and structural modeling of bio-based oligoesters as an approach for the fast screening of marine biodegradation and ecotoxicity

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors provide insights into the relationships between the chemical structure and properties of bio-based oligomers in terms of biodegradability in marine environments and toxicity in benchmark organisms. Without prejudice to the fact that biodegradability inherently signifies a desirable trait in plastic products nor that it automatically grants them a sustainable "license" this study is intended to facilitate the rational design of new polymers and materials on the basis of specific uses and applications. ijms25105433 The aim of this study was the synthesis of 11 model substrates used for the biodegradation studies, namely the aliphatic . . .
