General Information | Comment | Organism |

physiological function | reactions containing both ChiB and endochitinase ChiC show significantly increased N-acetylglucosamine trimer and dimer formation, but decreased monomer formation, compared to reactions with either enzyme alone. ChiB and ChiC attack different sites and together degrade chitin more efficiently than either enzyme separately. Chitobiase and chitin binding protein in combination with ChiB and ChiC (individually or together) increase their chitinase activity | Serratia marcescens |
