Abstract
This invention relates to nucleic acids encoding amylase polypeptides, the encoded polypeptides and uses thereof. The amylases of the present invention have been engineered to have more beneficial qualities. Specifically, the amylases of the current invention show an altered exo-specificity and/or thermostability. Some embodiments of the invention relate to said polypeptides and nucleic acids and their uses as non-maltogenic exoamylases in producing food products.
