Title: Mara Brunati: Innovator in Proteolytic Enzymes
Introduction
Mara Brunati is a distinguished inventor based in Olgiate Comasco, Italy. She has made significant contributions to the field of biotechnology, particularly in the development of proteolytic enzymes. Her innovative work addresses critical health issues related to gluten intolerance.
Latest Patents
Mara Brunati holds a patent for a new family of proteolytic enzymes that can hydrolyze gluten oligopeptides at a pH between 3 and 8. These enzymes are resistant to cleavage by gastric and pancreatic enzymes, which can lead to toxic effects in the intestinal lumen. The enzymes, identified as endopeptidases of the S8/S53 family, are produced by specific strains. The invention also includes methods for producing enzyme compositions through the cultivation of native strains, mutants, or recombinant host cells containing nucleic acids that code for the endopeptidases. These compositions are valuable for treating and preventing celiac sprue, dermatitis herpetiformis, and other disorders associated with gluten intolerance, serving as ingredients in pharmaceutical formulations or as food and drink additives. She has 1 patent to her name.
