Synthesis and Physicochemical Characterization of Chitin Derivatives
Journal of Chemistry, 2013 Firstly, chitin derivatives were synthesized. For this purpose, chitin was modified via ring-opening reaction with cyclic anhydrides in lithium chloride/N,N-dimethylacetamide.

Chitin, Chitosan, and Its Derivatives for Wound Healing: Old and New Materials
Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2015 Chitin (β-(1-4)-poly-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) is widely distributed in nature and is the second most abundant polysaccharide after cellulose. It is often converted to its more deacetylated derivative, chitosan.

Utilizing the sensitization effect for direct laser writing in a novel photoresist based on the chitin monomer N-acetyl-D-glucosamine [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The great flexibility of direct laser writing arises from the possibility to fabricate precise three-dimensional structures on very small scales as well as the broad range of applicable materials. However, there is still a vast number of promising materials which are currently inaccessible requiring the continuous development of novel photoresists ...

Chitin Heterodisaccharide, Released from Chitin by Chitinase and Chitin Oligosaccharide Deacetylase, Enhances the Chitin-Metabolizing Ability of Vibrio parahaemolyticus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2019 We demonstrate that β- N -acetyl- d -glucosaminyl-(1,4)- d -glucosamine (GlcNAc-GlcN) enhances the chitin-metabolizing ability of V. parahaemolyticus .

KNR4, a suppressor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cwh mutants, is involved in the transcriptional control of chitin synthase genes [PDF]
, 1999 The KNR4 gene, originally isolated by complementation of a K9 killer-toxinresistant mutant displaying reduced levels of both 1,3-b-glucan and 1,3-bglucan synthase activity, was recloned from a YCp50 genomic library as a suppressor of Saccharomyces ...

Nanostructured biocomposite films of high toughness based on native chitin nanofibers and chitosan
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014 Chitosan is widely used in films for packaging applications. Chitosan reinforcement by stiff particles or fibers is usually obtained at the expense of lowered ductility and toughness.

A study on structural comparisons of α-chitin extracted from marine crustacean shell waste
Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2021 In the present study, chitin was extracted from marine crustacean shell waste (shrimp, crab, squilla and lobster) using traditional chemical methods (deproteinisation and demineralization) and its physicochemical and structural properties were ...
