Chitinases from Bacteria to Human: Properties, Applications, and Future Perspectives
Figure 1
Specificity of different chitinases towards chitin polymer. N-Acetyl β-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.
