  • Publication number: 20260132396
    Abstract: The invention relates to proteases that exhibit proteolytic activity and comprise an amino acid sequence that is at least 70% and increasingly preferably at least 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 90.5%, 91%, 91.5%, 92%, 92.5%, 93%, 93.5%, 94%, 94.5%, 95%, 95.5%, 96%, 96.5%, 97%, 97.5%, and 98% identical to the amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO:1 over its entire length, wherein the protease comprises, based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:1, at least one amino acid substitution selected from the group consisting of N97E, R99E, R99I, R99N, R99V, R99T, D127E and M211C in at least one of the positions that correspond to positions 97.3 99, 127 and 211. Such proteases are suitable for use in washing and cleaning agents, in particular liquid textile washing agents, and have improved cleaning performance in comparison with a reference protease.
