1. An isolated variant of a parent cutinase, which comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to the mature polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2 wherein amino acid residue 36 is substituted with another amino acid, and further wherein the substitution consists of I36A, R, N, D, C, Q, E, G, H, L, M, F, P, S, T, W, Y or V; and which variant has cutinase activity and has improved catalytic property compared to the parent.
