  • Lipolytic Enzyme Variants
    Publication number: 20100047388
    Abstract: The inventors have developed improved polypeptides by substituting or deleting specified amino acids in fungal lipolytic enzymes. More particularly, the polypeptides result in a reduction of dough stickiness when they are added to a dough. The polypeptides may particularly have activity on polar lipids.

  • LIPOLYTIC ENZYME VARIANTS
    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.

  • Lipolytic enzyme variants
    Patent number: 7632669
    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.

  • Polypeptides Having Lipase Activity And Polynucleotides Encoding Same
    Publication number: 20090221033
    Abstract: The invention provides polypeptides obtained by introducing mutations in one or more regions identified in a parent lipase. The polypeptides of the present invention have surprisingly been found to have a low specific activity towards short chain fatty acids leading to a reduced odor generation and an increased BR over the lipases known in the art.

  • Lipase variants
    Patent number: 7396657
    Abstract: Attaching a peptide extension to the C-terminal amino acid of a lipase reduces the tendency to form odor. This may lead to lipase variants with a reduced odor generation when washing textile soiled with fat which includes relatively short-chain fatty acyl groups (e.g., up to C8) such as dairy stains containing butter fat or tropical oils such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil.

  • Enzymatic Enantioselective Ester or Amide Hydrolysis or Synthesis
    Publication number: 20080138856
    Abstract: The enantioselectivity of fungal lipolytic enzymes can be altered by substituting a suitably selected amino acid residue. The residue to be substituted is selected from its location in the 3D structure of the enzyme and an ester substrate (or a substrate analogue). A residue in the lid may be selected if it is located close to the acid part or close to the alcohol part of an ester substrate. A residue outside the lid region may be selected if it is located close to the active site or close to the substrate.
