  • Exo-specific amylase polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding those polypeptides and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8143048
    Abstract: This invention relates to amylase polypeptides, and nucleic acids encoding the polpypeptides and uses thereof. The amylases of the present invention have been engineered to have more beneficial qualities. Specifically, the amylases of the current invention show an altered exospecifity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 2004
    Date of Patent: March 27, 2012
    Assignee: Danisco A/S
    Inventors: Karsten Matthias Kragh, Kirsten Bojsen, Casper Tune Berg, Patrick M. F. Derkx, Anja H. Kellett-Smith, Charlotte Refdahl Thoudahl, Carol Fioresi, Wei Liu, Andrew Shaw, Gijsbert Gerritse
  • Modified amylases, nucleic acids encoding those amylases and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8129511
    Abstract: This invention relates to nucleic acids encoding amylase polypeptides, the encoded polypeptides and uses thereof. The amylases of the present invention have been engineered to have more beneficial qualities. Specifically, the amylases of the current invention show an altered exo-specificity and/or thermostability. Some embodiments of the invention relate to said polypeptides and nucleic acids and their uses as non-maltogenic exoamylases in producing food products.
