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.
