A class of subtilisin analogs suitable for admixture to cleaning compositions and having improved stability over naturally occurring Bacillus subtilisins are prepared by expressing a modified gene encoding the subtilisin analog in Bacillus subtilis. The subtilisin analogs are characterized as having a modified calcium binding site to improve calcium binding and either an Asn or a Gly replaced in any Asn-Gly sequences present in the subtilisin.
