  • Patent number: 10065991
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, in particular dodecapeptide-containing coating agents, adhesion promoters or adhesives for oxidic surfaces, a multilayer composite or a coated substrate, containing compounds which are formed entirely or in part of dodecapeptides as adhesion promoters between at least two adjacent layers of the composite or between the coating and the substrate, and to dodecapeptides that can be used as coating agents, adhesion promoters or adhesives for oxidic surfaces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2015

  • Patent number: 7888104
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel enzyme obtained from Bacillus agaradherens (DSM 9948), which can be regarded as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) and also as ?-amylase. The invention also relates to sufficiently similar proteins or derivatives that exhibit amylolytic and/or CGTase activity, to the corresponding nucleic acids and micro-organisms that produce said proteins and derivatives, to methods for the production of said proteins and to diverse uses of the same. In addition, said proteins can be further developed for other, predominantly technical purposes. The invention relates in particular to detergents and cleaning agents containing CGTase of this type, to methods for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces using CGTase of this type or corresponding agents and to the use thereof for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces.

    Date of Patent: February 15, 2011
    Assignee: Henkel AG & Co. KGaA
    Inventors: Beatrix Kottwitz, Karl-Heinz Maurer, Roland Breves, Irmgard Schmidt, Angrit Weber, Angela Hellebrandt, Laura Polanyi-Bald
  • Patent number: 7803604
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel amylolytic enzyme extracted from the microorganism Bacillus sp. A 7-7 (DSM 12368), to sufficiently similar proteins having an amylolytic function, to methods for the production thereof and to diverse fields of application for these proteins. In addition, the aforesaid can be further developed beyond the implemented fields of application for other technical purposes. The invention particularly relates to washing and cleaning agents containing amylolytic proteins of the aforementioned type, to methods for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces that involve the use of the amylolytic proteins or analogous agents, and to their use for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces.
