Enzymatic modification of chitin

Publisher:

Committee on Biotechnology PAS ; Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS

Abstract:

The role of chitinases, chitosanases, and chitin deacetylase in the biosynthesis and modification of chitin is presented. The biochemical properties of chitin deacetylase from Mucor rouxiiare characterized in respect to its activity towards various chitin derivatives. This enzyme couldbe useful in biotechnological production of chitosan from chitin as an alternative method tothermochemical deacetylation.
