Abstract
There is provided a bleaching enzyme capable of generating a bleaching chemical and having a high binding affinity for non-colored compounds present in stains on fabrics, said non-colored compounds having a molecular weight of at least 100, preferably of at least 1,000 and more preferably of at least 5,000. Furthermore, there is provided an enzymatic bleaching composition comprising said bleaching enzyme and a surfactant and a process for bleaching stains present of fabrics.
Claims25
Bleaching enzyme capable of generating a bleaching chemical and having a high binding affinity for non-coloured compounds present in stains on fabrics, characterised in that said non-coloured compounds have a molecular weight of at least 100, preferably of at least 1,000 and more preferably of at least 5,000.
Enzyme according to claim 17, wherein the Vanadium chloroperoxidase is Curvularia inaequalis chloroperoxidase.
A multi-specific antibody or antibody or an analogous structure arranged so that at least one specificity is directed to non-coloured compounds present in stains on fabrics, said non-coloured compounds having a molecular weight of at least 5,000, preferably at least 10,000, and the others are directed to one or more bleaching enzymes.
