  • Publication number: 20130023028
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preparing a variant of a parent polypeptide comprising: (a) providing an amino acid sequence of a parent polypeptide; (b) substituting at least one amino acid residue at a position in the sequence corresponding to any of positions: 41, 83, 129, 207 or 284 in SEQ ID No: 2; (c) selecting a variant with lipolytic activity, which compared to the parent polypeptide has improved stability, and has an amino acid sequence with at least 60% identity to the mature polypeptide of SEQ ID No: 2; and (d) recovering the variant.

  • Publication number: 20100047836
    Abstract: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation on the three-dimensional structure of Candida anrtarctica lipase B revealed two hitherto unknown lids with a marked mobility, and this discovery was used to design lipolytic enzyme variants with increased lipolytic enzyme activity.

  • Publication number: 20030159178
    Abstract: Methods for providing transgenic plants and parts hereof that, relative to the wild type state, is modified in a complex cell wall polysaccharide structure including pectins and hemicelluloses, the modification being in the overall glycosidic linkage pattern or the monosaccharide profile, comprising transforming a plant cell with a nucleotide sequence that causes an altered production of a complex cell wall polysaccharide-modifying enzyme such as endo-rhamnogalacturonan hydrolase, an endo-rhamnogalacturonan lyase, an endo-galactanase, an endo-arabinanase, an arabinofuranosidase, a galactosidase such as a beta-galactosidase, a xylosidase and an exo-galacturosidase. The modification can occur in vivo or post harvest, in which latter case the modifying enzyme is separated in the growing plant from its substrate, e.g. by targeting the enzyme to the Golgi, the endoplasmic reticulum or a vacuole, or is in a form that is inactive in the plant.
