Abstract
The invention is in the field of protein chemistry, in particular in the field of enzymology. It provides pectinases, i.e. polypeptides with pectin-degrading properties. In particular the invention provides polypeptides with pectate lyase activity (EC 4.2.2.2). Enzymes according to the invention have improved properties, such as improved thermostability and decreased calcium dependence.
