Patent ID: 7129069

Claim:
A hybrid enzyme which comprises an amino acid sequence of a catalytic module having glucoamylase activity and an amino acid sequence of a carbohydrate-binding module, wherein: (a) the catalytic module is an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 24; SEQ ID NO: 25, and SEQ ID NO: 26 or a catalytic module which has at least 95% identity to SEQ ID NO: 24; SEQ ID NO: 25, or SEQ ID NO: 26; (b) the carbohydrate-binding module is an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 18, and SEQ ID NO: 28, or a carbohydrate-binding module which differs from SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 18, or SEQ ID NO: 28 in no more than 10 amino acid positions.
