Characterization of chitin deacetylase from fungus Absidia butleri dr [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The chitin deacetylase enzyme that catalyses the conversion of chitin to chitosan via the deacetylation of N-acetyl- glucosamine residues has been found in a few Zygomycetes and insects.

Molecular Insights into Exoskeletal Remodeling: Transcriptomic Profiling of the Molting Cycle in the Red Swamp Crayfish Procambarus clarkii

open access: yesFishes
The molting of crustaceans is accompanied by exoskeleton reconstruction. To reveal the molecular regulation mechanism of exoskeleton remodeling, the transcriptomic profiles of the exoskeleton across the entire molting process in the red swamp crayfish ...

The energy of activation of intracellular and extracellular chitin deacetylase

open access: yesProgress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives
Chitin deacetylase is an enzyme produced by several organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and insects. In most cases, the enzyme is produced intracellularly; however, some fungi also produce the enzyme extracellularly, so the work aimed to compare the activity and the energies of activation of intracellular and extracellular chitin deacetylase.

Aspartyl peptidase May1 induces host inflammatory response by altering cell wall composition in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans

open access: yesmBio
Cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, a disease that kills more than 180,000 people annually. Contributing to its success as a fungal pathogen is its cell wall surrounded by a capsule.

Partial purification and characterization of chitin deacetylase from Mucor rouxii [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The optimization of isolation and characterization of chitin deacetylase (CDa) from Mucor rouxii was the focus of this study. The crude extract in the active form was partially purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by column chromatography

BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CRUDE CHITIN DEACETYLASE SUPERNATANT FROM BACILLUS CEREUS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Chitosan, produced by thermochemical deacetylation of chitin, is a unique polymer. This chemical process causes insoluble and impure chitin/chitosan derivates. Therefore, the methods such as enzymatic bioconversion have recently been investigated for the
