Publication number: 20100215802Abstract: Dough with a high sucrose content (such as cake dough) tends to inhibit the activity of an anti-staling amylase such as Novamyl®, making it less effective to prevent the staling of dough-based products with high sucrose content such as cakes. A good anti-staling effect in cakes can be achieved by using a carefully selected anti-staling amylase with certain properties. Analysis of a 3D structure of Novamyl® shows that sucrose may inhibit by binding in the active site. Sucrose docks into the active site of Novamyl® differently from the substrate or inhibitor in published models 1QHO and 1QHP. This finding is used to design sucrose-tolerant variants.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2008Publication date: August 26, 2010Applicant: Novozymes A/SInventors: Lars Beier, Peter Esben Friis, Henrik Lundqvist, Peter Kamp Hansen, Tina Spendler

Publication number: 20050181446Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of selecting a protein variant having modified immunogenicity as compared to the parent protein comprising the steps obtaining antibody binding peptide sequences, using the sequences to localise epitope sequences on the 3-dimensional structure of parent protein, defining an epitope area including amino acids situated within 5 ? from the epitope amino acids constituting the epitope sequence, changing one or more of the amino acids defining the epitope area of the parent protein by genetical engineering mutations of a DNA sequence encoding the parent protein, introducing the mutated DNA sequence into a suitable host, culturing said host and expressing the protein variant, and evaluating the immunogenicity of the protein variant using the parent protein as reference. The invention further relates to the protein variant and use thereof, as well as to a method for producing said protein variant.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2001Publication date: August 18, 2005Applicant: Novozymes A/SInventors: Erwin Roggen, Steffen Ernst, Allan Svendsen, Esben Friis, Claus Osten
