Described are variants of a parent alpha-amylase that exhibits an alteration in at least one of the following properties relative to said parent alpha-amylase: specific activity, substrate 5 specificity, substrate binding, substrate cleavage, thermal stability, pH-dependent activity, pH dependent stability, oxidative stability, calcium dependency, pI, and wash performance. The variants are suitable for starch conversion, ethanol production, laundry washing, dish washing, hard surface cleaning, textile desizing, and/or sweetener production. |
