A protein is denatured by adding protein glutaminase and transglutaminase to the protein substantially at the same timing, or adding protein glutaminase to the protein before the transglutaminase acts on the protein, or controlling the quantitative ratio of protein glutaminase to transglutaminase, by which a protein is treated, to a definite level.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicants: AJINOMOTO CO., INC., Amano Enzyme Inc.Inventors: Noriko Miwa, Nobuhisa Shimba, Mina Nakamura, Eiichiro Suzuki, Keiichi Yokoyama, Hiroyuki Nakagoshi, Fumiyuki Hirose, Hiroaki Sato

Publication number: 20110014317Abstract: The invention encompasses the use of a lipolytic enzyme obtainable from one of the following genera: Streptomyces, Corynebacterium and Thermobifida in various methods and uses, wherein the lipolytic enzyme hydrolyzes a glycolipid or a phospholipid or transfers an acyl group from a glycolipid or phospholipids to an acyl acceptor. The present invention also relates to a lipolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes at least a galactolipid or transfers an acyl group from a galactolipid to one or more acyl acceptor substrates, wherein the enzyme is obtainable from Corynebacterium species.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2010Publication date: January 20, 2011Inventors: Andrei MIASNIKOV, Jørn Borch Søe, Jørn Dalgaard Mikkelsen, Mira Povelainen, Virve Pitkanen
