The invention is used in the field of enzyme technology. The invention relates to lipases and to the production thereof, the amino acid sequence of which has been modified in particular with regard to the use thereof in detergents and cleaning agents, all sufficiently similar lipases having a corresponding modification and nucleic acids coding for them. The invention further relates to methods and uses of said lipases and to agents containing them, in particular detergents and cleaning agents.

Lipases for use in washing and cleaning agents

The present disclosure relates to proteases comprising an amino acid sequence which has at least about 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 1, over the entire length thereof, and in which the amino acids in the positions corresponding to positions 24, 33, 53, 78, 101, 128 and 217 according to SEQ ID NO. 1 are substituted at 24G, 33T, 53G, 78N, 101N, 128A and 217Q, and to the production and use thereof. Said type of proteases have a very good cleaning performance compared to reference proteases.
