The invention relates to a variant of a parent Termamyl-like alpha-amylase, which variant exhibits altered properties, in particular reduced capability of cleaving a substrate close to the branching point, and improved substrate specificity and/or improved specific activity relative to the parent alpha-amylase. The variant of the parent Termamyl-like alpha-amylase, comprised an alternation at one or more positions selected from the group of W13, G48, T49, S50, Q51, A52, D53, V54, G57, G107, G108, A111, S168 and M197. |
