Abstract

The present invention is directed to glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) polypeptides that have enhanced GDH activity and/or thermostability relative to the backbone wild-type glucose dehydrogenase polypeptide. In addition, the present invention is directed to a polynucleotide that encodes for the GDH polypeptides of the present invention, to nucleic acid sequences comprising the polynucleotides, to expression vectors comprising the polynucleotides operatively linked to a promoter, to host cells transformed to express the GDH polypeptides, and to a method for producing the GDH polypeptides of the present invention.
