Cloning and Characterization of Chitin Deacetylase from Euphausia superba. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciChitin deacetylase (CDA) can catalyze the deacetylation of chitin to produce chitosan. In this study, we identified and characterized a chitin deacetylase gene from Euphausia superba (EsCDA-9k), and a soluble recombinant protein chitin deacetylase from Euphausia superba of molecular weight 45 kDa was cloned, expressed, and purified.

The influence of selected ionic liquids on activity of chitin deacetylase [PDF]
Chemical and Process Engineering, 2016 Chitin deacetylase is the only known enzyme which is able to deacetylate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units in chitin or chitosan chains. As chitin can hardly be dissolved in organic/inorganic solvents, new solvents are still searched.

Study on Enzymatic Characteristics of Chitin Deacetylase [PDF]
Advanced Materials Research, 2011 Chitin deacetylase (CDA) catalyzes the conversion of chitin to chitosan by the deacetylation of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues. The results of the fundamental enzymatic properties of chitin deacetylase producing from the high productivity chitin deacetylase strain Z7 show that, the optimum temperature of strain Z7 was 40°C, the optimum pH was 6.5 ...
