    Abstract: A method is provided for improving the uptake of a cationic compound onto a polyester article starting material, comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a polyesterase enzyme; (b) contacting said polyesterase enzyme with said polyester article starting material under conditions and for a time suitable for said polyesterase to produce surface modification of said polyester article starting material and produce a surface modified polyester; (c) contacting said modified polyester article, subsequently or simultaneously with said step (b) with a cationic compound whereby adherence of said cationic compound to said modified polyester is increased compared to said polyester starting material. Also disclosed is a method for increasing the hydrophilicity of a polyester to improve fabric characteristics such as stain resistance, wettability and/or dyeability.

    Abstract: Novel enzyme variants including protease variants derived from the DNA sequences of naturally-occurring or recombinant non-human proteases are disclosed. The variant proteases, in general, are obtained by in vitro modification of a precursor DNA sequence encoding the naturally-occurring or recombinant protease to generate the substitution of a plurality of amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence of a precursor protease. Such variant proteases have properties which are different from those of the precursor protease, such as altered wash performance. The substituted amino acid residue correspond to positions 27, 45, 170, 181, 251 and 271 of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subtilisin. Additional variants comprising at least one additional substituion at a positon selected from 1, 14, 49, 61, 87, 100, 102, 118, 128, 204 and 258 of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subtilisin are also described.
