Chitinases from Bacteria to Human: Properties, Applications, and Future Perspectives

<div>Specificity of different chitinases towards chitin polymer. N-Acetyl <i>β</i>-glucosaminidase cleaves monomeric unit of GlcNAc from nonreducing terminal. Chitobiosidase cleaves dimeric unit of GlcNAc from nonreducing terminal. Endochitinase cleaves glycosidic bond randomly at internal sites in chitin polymer.</div>
