The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a protease, an alpha-amylase and a surfactant, and methods and uses of the same (for example, in automatic dish washing and laundry).

Detergent compositions and uses of the same

The present invention relates to novel subtilase polypeptides exhibiting increased wash performance and/or improved wash performance and to compositions comprising such polypeptides. The polypeptides of the invention are suitable for use in e.g. cleaning or detergent compositions, such as laundry detergent compositions and dish wash compositions, including automatic dish wash compositions. The present invention also relates to isolated DNA sequences encoding the polypeptides, expression vectors, host cells, and methods for producing and using the polypeptides of the invention.

Polypeptides suitable for detergent

The present invention relates to variants (mutants) of polypeptides, in particular Termamyl-like alpha-amylases, which variant has alpha-amylase activity and exhibits an alteration in at least one of the following properties relative to said parent alpha-amylase: substrate specificity, substrate binding, substrate cleavage pattern, thermal stability, pH/activity profile, pH/stability profile, stability towards oxidation, Ca2+ dependency, specific activity, in particular laundry and dish-wash applications.
