- | [[Chitinase]]s cleave the beta-1-4-glycosidic bond between the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units of which chitin is comprised. Chitinases are present in plants, bacteria and fungi. The first chitinase structures were solved in 1994, from a bacterium ([[1ctn]]) and a plant ([[2hvm]]). A mechanism for chitin cleavage was proposed based on several structures and was later confirmed. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Chitinase, ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of Chitinase I from ''Serratia marcescens'' ([[1edq]]). | ||
