Cloning and Characterization of Chitin Deacetylase from Euphausia superba. [PDF]
Chitin 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.

Chitin Deacetylases: Properties and Applications [PDF]
Chitin deacetylases, occurring in marine bacteria, several fungi and a few insects, catalyze the deacetylation of chitin, a structural biopolymer found in countless forms of marine life, fungal cell and spore walls as well as insect cuticle and peritrophic matrices.

Preparation of Defined Chitosan Oligosaccharides Using Chitin Deacetylases [PDF]
During the past decade, detailed studies using well-defined ‘second generation’ chitosans have amply proved that both their material properties and their biological activities are dependent on their molecular structure, in particular on their degree of polymerisation (DP) and their fraction of acetylation (FA). Recent evidence suggests that the pattern

Chitin Deacetylases: Structures, Specificities, and Biotech Applications [PDF]
Depolymerization and de-N-acetylation of chitin by chitinases and deacetylases generates a series of derivatives including chitosans and chitooligosaccharides (COS), which are involved in molecular recognition events such as modulation of cell signaling and morphogenesis, immune responses, and host-pathogen interactions.

Polycistronic Expression System for Pichia pastoris Composed of Chitino- and Chitosanolytic Enzymes
Chitin is one of the most abundant biopolymers. Due to its recalcitrant nature and insolubility in accessible solvents, it is often considered waste and not a bioresource. The products of chitin modification such as chitosan and chitooligosaccharides are

The influence of selected ionic liquids on activity of chitin deacetylase
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.

Rational Design of a Potential New Nematicide Targeting Chitin Deacetylase. [PDF]
In a previously published study, the authors devised a molecular topology QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) approach to detect novel fungicides acting as inhibitors of chitin deacetylase (CDA). Several of the chosen compounds exhibited noteworthy activity.

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

Cloning, expression and activity identification of chitin deacetylase gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
To construct a non-methanol induced expression vector and engineering strain for chitin deacetylase in Pichia pastoris, two chitin deacetylase genes ScCDA1 and ScCDA2 were amplified and cloned from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and subjected to bioinformatics
