  • Patent number: 11046935
    Abstract: Intended is to provide a highly practical novel FAD-GDH. A glucose dehydrogenase having the following properties is provided: (1) action: catalyzes the reaction of oxidizing hydroxyl groups of glucose to form glucono-?-lactone in the presence of an electron acceptor; (2) substrate specificity: reactivity to D-xylose is 10% or less when the reactivity to D-glucose is 100%; (3) pH stability: stable at pH 5 to 8; (4) amino acid sequence: including the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, or an amino acid sequence with an identity of 83% or more to the amino acid sequence.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9498520
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an enzyme composition. The enzyme composition may be used to treat gluten intolerant subjects, including suffering from non-Celiac gluten intolerance and/or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity. The enzyme composition may also be used to reduce gluten exposure in certain individuals. For example, the enzyme composition may also be used as a prophylactic to reduce exposure to gluten oligopeptides.
