| 3.1.1.74 | additional information | water:surfactant molar rate has a marked influence on the enzyme activity, with the best results in the range between 5 and 8. The use of detergents improves the reaction yield during wetting of cotton fibers. Increase in the stereoselectivity of the primary hydroxyl group acylation is obtained through the preincubation of the enzyme in the presence of the substrate diol 1, there is no correlation with the incubation time | Fusarium solani |

| 3.1.1.74 | industry | useful as biocatalysts in systems involving hydrolysis, esterification, and transesterification reactions. Cutinase proves to be the most well fitted enzyme for the detection of pesticide residues in foods even at very low levels. Use in fiber modification due to its hydrophobic nature and activity against biopolyesters present in plant cuticle. Use of cutinase to improve the wetting of cotton fibers. Cutinase is potentially useful for the removal of fats in laundry, but the unfolding of the enzyme in the presence of anionic surfactants limits its widespread use as an additive in industrial laundry detergents. Displays a stability profile that is well-fitted to the industrial process | Fusarium solani |

| 3.1.1.74 | additional information | stability of cutinase may be increased through mutations designed to avoid the transient formation of hydrophobic groups during protein movement. Because the organism has a low but significant ferulic acid esterase activity, it may be easier to introduce a high level of ferulic acid esterase activity in cutinases through point mutations | Fusarium solani |
