A Comparison of the binding energies of polypropylene with Micrococcus and Rhodococcus MCO. B RMSD plot of Micrococcus MCO bound to PP to assess the structural stability when bound to different plastic types. C Similarly, the RMSD plot of PP and PE represents their stability and conformational dynamics inside the active site of MCO. D Radius of gyration to measure the compactness of the complex. E MolSA represents the surface of PP interacting with the active site of MCO, and F SASA represents the surface area of the polymer exposed to solvent. G Root mean square fluctuation plot represents the flexibility of the amino acid during simulation in the bound state with PP. 3D representation of the binding of different sizes of PP on the surface of MCO. Protein is represented in cartoon representation with bound H propylene, I 10-mer polypropylene, and J 30-mer of polypropylene. Copper ions are colored as magenta, whereas substrates are colored as red in the sticks representation.
