  • Patent number: 6946128
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to subtilisin protease conjugate comprising a protease moiety and one or more addition moieties. Each addition moiety is covalently attached to an epitope protection position of the protease moiety. The protease conjugates have decreased immunogenicity relative to a parent protease. The present disclosure further relates to cleaning and personal care compositions comprising the protease conjugates.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6908757
    Abstract: The present invention relates to variants of serine proteases having decreased immunogenicity relative to their corresponding wild-type proteases. More particularly, the present invention relates to variants having a modified amino acid sequence of a wild-type amino acid sequence, wherein the modified amino acid sequence comprises a deletion and, optionally, a substitution of one or more specifically identified positions corresponding to subtilisin BPN?. The invention further relates to mutant genes encoding such variants and cleaning and personal care compositions comprising such variants.

  • Patent number: 6776802
    Abstract: Couplers for hair coloring compositions for oxidative dyeing of hair are compounds of formula (1): wherein X is selected from halogen; R3 is selected from the group consisting of C1 to C2 alkyl and hydroxyethyl; and R, R1 and R2 are each independently selected from C1 to C22 alkyl or C1 to C22 mono or dialkyl groups, or two of R, R1 and R2 together with the the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a C3 to C6 cycloaliphatic or a C3 to C14 aromatic group, the cycloaliphatic or aromatic group optionally containing in their rings one or more hetero atoms selected from O, S and N atoms.
