chitin + H2O |
the enzyme acts from non-reducing ends. Substrate binding structure, overview. The reducing sugar at subsite -1 is in an energetically unfavoured boat conformation, a state that possibly exists just before the completion of catalysis. A hydrophobic plane composed of four surface-exposed aromatic residues is adjacent to the entrance to the substrate-binding cleft |
