| abstract |
The invention relates to a novel alkaline protease, the DNA thereof having been taken from a bottom sample, to all alkaline proteases that are at least 40 % identical, and to all nucleic acids with an identity at least 50 % homologous with the associated nucleic acids. The invention also relates to the fragment of said protease, comprising the amino acid positions 108 to 325, in addition to the gene fragment coding therefor, and to all alkaline proteases that are at least 60 % identical, or nucleic acids that are at least 70 % identical. Furthermore, the invention defines technical possibilities of use for said proteases and especially describes the use thereof in washing and cleaning products. |
