GLUCANASES, NUCLEIC ACIDS ENCODING THEM AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: new polypeptides having glucanase, (e.g., endoglucanase), mannanase or xylanase activity or a combination of these activities, and polynucleotides encoding them; and methods of designing new enzymes and methods of use thereof.SOLUTION: The polynucleotides or polypeptides have at least 50% sequence identity to specific sequences over at least about 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 75 or 100 residues.
