Product Descriptions
Chitinase is an extracellular enzyme complex that degrades chitin. Chitin is an integral part of fungal cell walls and essential for the exoskeleton of different organisms. Hydrolysis of chitin to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine by chitinase involves two consecutive enzymatic reactions:
The first reaction, chitinase, is a poly(β-(1→4)-[2-acetylamino-2-deoxy-D-glucoside])-polyglucan hydrolase, which breaks down chitin into chitosan (or other oligosaccharide) units.
The second reaction is N-acetylglucosidase, which cleaves the disaccharide (or other oligosaccharide) into its monomeric subunit, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
This is shown below:
