Polyurethane
Polyurethane (often abbreviated PUR and PU) referes to a class of polymers composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links formed by reacting a di- or triisocyanate with a polyol (Polyurethane in PAZY database). Polyurethanases belong to different families of alpha/beta hydrolases: Carb_B_Bacteria, Polyesterase-lipase-cutinase, Bacterial_lip_FamI.3
