Abstract
Blends of enzymes of the same enzyme class (same EC number), such as beta-glucuronidase enzyme blends, are provided that exhibit synergistic levels of activity across a range of substrates as compared to the activity levels of each enzyme in the blend individually. The blends also may exhibit a greater effective substrate range, as well as greater effective pH and/or temperature ranges as compared to single enzyme preparations. Predictive methods for determining optimal enzyme blends, methods for preparing enzyme blends, enzyme blend compositions, enzyme blend formulations and methods of using such enzyme blends are provided.
