Patent number: 5976855Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a variant of a parent lipolytic enzyme, comprising (a) subjecting a DNA sequence encoding the parent lipolytic enzyme to random mutagenesis, (b) expressing the mutated DNA sequence obtained in step (a) in a host cell, and (c) screening for host cells expressing a mutated lipolytic enzyme which has a decreased dependance to calcium and/or an improved tolerance towards a detergent or a detergent component as compared to the parent lipolytic enzyme.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1996Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Allan Svendsen, Ib Groth Clausen, Jens Sigurd Okkels, Marianne Thellersen

Patent number: 5866526Abstract: An enzyme preparation comprising a modified enzyme selected from the group consisting of an amylase, lipase, oxidorcductase, pectinace or hemicellulase, the modified enzyme having an improved performance due to an alkaline pI and/or increased surface activity obtained by chemical modification or amino acid substitution, is useful e.g., in detergents, in baking flour, in animal feed, in the manufacture of cellulosic fabrics and for the treatment of lignocellulosic fibers.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1996Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Arne Agerlin Olsen, Allan Svendsen, Kim Borch, Henrik Lund, Marianne Thellersen, Peter Rosholm, Niels Munk

Patent number: 5830837Abstract: A variant of a parent .alpha.-amylase enzyme having an improved washing and/or dishwashing performance as compared to the parent enzyme, wherein one or more amino acid residues of the parent enzyme have been replaced by a different amino acid residue and/or wherein one or more amino acid residues of the parent .alpha.-amylase have been deleted and/or wherein one or more amino acid residues have been added to the parent .alpha.-amylase enzyme, provided that the variant is different from one in which the methionine residue in position 197 of a parent B. licheniformis .alpha.-amylase has been replaced by alanine or threonine, as the only modification being made. The variant may be used for washing and dishwashing.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1994Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Henrik Bisg.ang.rd-Frantzen, Torben Vedel Borchert, Allan Svendsen, Marianne Thellersen, Pia Van der Zee
