A structural and biochemical model of processive chitin synthesis [PDF]
, 2014 Chitin synthases (CHS) produce chitin, an essential component of the fungal cell wall. The molecular mechanism of processive chitin synthesis is not understood, limiting the discovery of new inhibitors of this enzyme class.

Studies on Chitin I. Enzymic Degradation of Chitin and Chitin Esters [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1954 A study has been made O'f the enzymic degradation of chitin and the sodium salt of chitin sulphuric acid by a chitinase prepared from the intestinal tract of the snail, Helix aspersa. It is shown that, in a citrate-phosphate buffer, the pH for optimum activity is 4.8 for both substrates.

Seafood Waste as Attractive Source of Chitin and Chitosan Production and Their Applications
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Chitosan is a cationic polymer obtained by deacetylation of chitin, found abundantly in crustacean, insect, arthropod exoskeletons, and molluscs. The process of obtaining chitin by the chemical extraction method comprises the steps of deproteinization ...

Studies on Chitin VI. The Nature of ?- and ?-Chitins [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1965 Enzymic digestion, acidic hydrolysis, deuterium exchange, infrared absorption spectra, and differential thermal analysis of chitins show that not only do the structures of <x- and ~-chitins differ but that differences occur within the <x-chitins and within the ~-chitins. The crystalline structure within an <x-chitin varies and about 30% of the

Imobilisasi Asam Humat Pada Kitin Dan Aplikasinya Sebagai Adsorben Cr(III)
Indonesian Journal of Chemical Research, 2018 Immobilization of humic acid on chitin has been conducted and applied to the adsorption of Cr(III). The humic acid was isolated using NaOH 0.1 M, while chitin was isolated by deproteination of crab shells by using NaOH 3.5 % (w/v) and followed by ...
