The present invention relates to subtilisin 309 variants having a modified amino acid sequence of wild-type subtilisin 309 amino acid sequence, the wild-type amino acid sequence comprising a first loop region, a second loop region, a third loop region, a fourth loop region, a fifth loop region and a sixth loop region; wherein the modified amino acid sequence comprises different amino acids than that occurring in wild-type subtilisin 309 (i.e., substitution) at specifically identified positions in one or more of the loop regions whereby the subtilisin 309 variant has decreased adsorption to, and increased hydrolysis of, an insoluble substrate as compared to the wild-type subtilisin 309. The present invention also relates to DNA sequence encoding such subtilisin 309 variants. The present invention also relates to compositions comprising such subtilisin 309 variants for cleaning a variety of surfaces. |
