Patent number: 7892806Abstract: The inventors have developed a method of altering the amino acid sequence of a fungal alpha-amylase to obtain variants, and they have used the method to construct such variants. The variants may be useful for anti-staling in baked products. Accordingly, the invention provides a method of constructing fungal alpha-amylase variants based on a comparison of three-dimensional (3D) structures of the fungal alpha-amylase and a maltogenic alpha-amylase. One or both models includes a substrate. The invention also provides novel fungal alpha-amylase variants.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2010Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Novozymes A/SInventors: Allan Svendsen, Lars Beier, Jesper Vind, Tina Spendler, Morten Tovborg Jensen

Publication number: 20100183766Abstract: The inventors have developed a method of modifying the amino acid sequence of a CGTase to obtain variants. The variants may form linear oligosaccharides as an initial product by starch hydrolysis and a reduced amount of cyclodextrin and may be useful for anti-staling in baked products. The method is based on a comparison of three-dimensional (3D) structures of the CGTase with the structure of a maltogenic alpha-amylase where one or both models includes a substrate. The invention also provides novel CGTase variants.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2010Publication date: July 22, 2010Applicant: Novozymes A/SInventors: Allan Svendsen, Lars Beier, Tina Spendler, Morten Tovborg Jensen, Christel Thea Jorgensen
