Structure-function studies of chitinases and engineering of variants with improved properties
SAMMENDRAG: Chitinases degrade chitin, an abundant polymer of N-acetylglucosamine occurring in, for example, shrimp shells, insect cuticles and fungal cell walls. Chitinases are of biotechnological interest because (1) they can convert c hitin-containing biomass into useful prod...
