Abstract
The invention relates to α-galactosidase and to polynucleotides encoding the α-galactosidase. In addition methods of designing new α-galactosidases and method of use thereof are also provided. The α-galactosidases have increased activity and stability at increased pH and temperature.
Claims1
A method of catalyzing the hydrolysis of saccharides comprising contacting a sample containing saccharides with a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 4 and sequences having at least 50% homology and having α-galactosidase enzyme activity under conditions with facilitate the hydrolysis of the saccharides.
