induces expression
-
the beta-CGTase and gamma-CGTase activities increase as the chitosan concentrations increases to 2% (w/v)
-
treatment leads to increased enzymic activity in cortex and cork tissues, with maximum specific activity after 12 h, and accumulation of phenolic compounds including 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde

conjugated to the enzyme, with 81-93% laccase being conjugated, a moderate activity loss of 16-28% occurs in conjugation solution, a second severe activity loss of 63-78% occurs during a cycle of phase change consisting of precipitation, centrifugation and re-dissolution of the enzyme–chitosan conjugates, the chitosan molecular size has little effect, overview
-
various sizes of chitosans (CTSN, CTSN-P, CTSN-B, and CTSN-S) prepared as low molecular weight chitosan show significant inhibitory effect on enzyme DSase activity, antimicrobial activity of CTSNs toward Streptococcus mutans, overview
-
the Haldane kinetic model adequately describes the dynamic behavior of the chitosan enzymolysis by papain. When the initial chitosan concentration is above 8.0 g/l, the papain is overloaded and exhibits significant inhibition
-
molecular weight about 6 kDA, complex formation with enzyme due to establishment of 5-6 ion pairs
