Patents by Inventor Christian Degering

Christian Degering has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10494622
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the secretion of a protein from a host cell in order to increase the product yield of protein in a fermentation process. This is achieved by an expression vector comprising a) a promoter sequence and b) a nucleic acid sequence that codes for a protein. The protein comprises a signal peptide and an additional amino acid sequence, and the signal peptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO: 2, at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO: 4, at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO: 6, or the signal peptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is structurally homologous to at least one of said sequences.

  • Publication number: 20190136157
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to detergents or cleaning agents that comprise two enzyme-containing compositions A and B physically separated from one another, wherein composition A is liquid and comprises at least one protease, preferably at least one metalloprotease; and composition B comprises at least one enzyme different from the protease in the first enzyme-containing phase, and to a method for laundering textiles or for automatic dishwashing with use of this detergent/cleaning agent.

  • Publication number: 20190112552
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to proteases having an amino acid sequence with at least 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID No. 1, across its whole length, and comprising an amino acid substitution on at least one of the positions P9, Q10, Q62, L82, P86, N130, T141, N187, S236 or T253, relating in each case to the numbering according to SEQ ID No. 1. The present disclosure also relates to the production and use thereof. Said type of proteases have a very good cleaning performance.
