The enzyme binds to chitin and randomly cleaves glycosidic linkages in chitin and chitodextrins in a non-processive mode, generating chitooligosaccharides and free ends on which exo-chitinases and exo-chitodextrinases can act. Activity is greatly stimulated in the presence of EC 1.14.99.53, lytic chitin monoxygenase, which attacks the crystalline structure of chitin and makes the polymer more accesible to the chitinase. cf. EC 3.2.1.202, endo-chitodextrinase.

crystallization of the native enzyme and the enzyme in complex with 8-chlorotheophylline, kinetin or acetazolamide, sitting drop method, 1.6 A resolution
Km-value for mutant enzyme for 4-methylumbelliferyl-N,N',N''-triacetylchitotriose is 0.8 mM versus 1 mM for wild-type enzyme and turnover number is 2.3 per sec versus 1.3 for wild-type enzyme. Inhibition by allosamidin, acetazolamide, and 8-chlorotheophylline are not significantly affected by the mutation, inhibition by kinetin is not detectable
similar Km (1.1 versus 1 mM for wild-type) and turnover number kcat (0.8 versus 1.3 for wild-type) as for the wild-type enzyme and the single A283S mutant. Inhibition by allosamidin, acetazolamide, and 8-chlorotheophylline is not significantly affected by the mutation, inhibition by kinetin is not detectable
