Abstract:
The present invention includes methods of improving proteolytic stability of a polypeptide, comprising alkylating at least one selected from the group consisting of a N-terminus amino group, the NH group of the N-terminus first internal amide bond, another primary amino group, a thiol group and a thioether group within the polypeptide. The present invention further includes polypeptides incorporating such chemical modifications.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for producing an alcohol comprising: (a) admixing a tripeptidyl peptidase, predominantly having exopeptidase activity, with a feedstock or a fraction thereof before, during or after fermentation of said feedstock or a fraction thereof; and (b) recovering an alcohol. Also provided are uses of a tripeptidyl peptidase and by-products of alcohol production obtainable by the method of the invention.

Abstract:
Described are methods for increasing the expression of a transgene in eukaryotic cells by reducing RNA interference (RNAi), and variant cells produce by the method. The methods and variant cells are useful, for example, for the efficient production of therapeutic and industrial polypeptides in eukaryotic cells.
Abstract:
Provided is an enzymatic process that hydrolyzes spinach plant material to form a salt-enhancing ingredient, the formed salt-enhancing ingredient, food products comprising said salt-enhancing ingredient and a method of enhancing the salty taste of food products.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a fermented milk product, comprising contacting a milk substrate with an enzyme preparation having exopeptidase activity; contacting a milk substrate with lactic acid bacteria; wherein the lactic acid bacteria have a time to reach a pH of 4.6 of a solution of 12% skimmed milk powder which is at least 30% shorter in the presence 0.5% (w/w) of a yeast extract in the solution of 12% skimmed milk powder than without the presence of the yeast extract in the 12% skimmed milk powder, and wherein said enzyme preparation is a substantially pure exopeptidase preparation. Likewise envisaged is a fermented milk product comprising an enzyme having exopeptidase activity, a kit of parts comprising lactic acid bacteria and enzyme having exopeptidase activity and the use of an exopeptidase for accelerating acidification speed of lactic acid bacteria.

Abstract:
The proposal is for an improved process for producing wheat protein hydrolysates in which protein-containing basic substances are first hydrolysed in with proteinases and then with peptidases. The resultant hydrolysates are particularly suitable for producing light-coloured condensation products with fatty acids with a long shelf life.
