  • Patent number: 7851176
    Abstract: The substrate specificity of a lipolytic enzyme can be modified by making alterations to the amino acid sequence in a defined region of the lipolytic enzyme, so as to increase the level of a desired activity or to decrease the level of an undesired activity. Thus, the inventors have developed lipolytic enzyme variants with a modified amino acid sequence with a substrate specificity which can be tailored for specific uses.

  • Publication number: 20100003708
    Abstract: Lipolytic enzyme variants with increased specificity for short-chain fatty acids can be designed on the basis of a three-dimensional model of a lipolytic enzyme such as C. antarctica lipase A with a substrate analogue such as a fatty acid. An amino acid residue is selected within 10 ? of the carbon atom corresponding to the desired chain-length specificity, and the selected residue is substituted with a larger residue, or an amino acid insertion is made adjacent to the selected residue.
