Substrate Recognition and Specificity of Chitin Deacetylases and Related Family 4 Carbohydrate Esterases

Substrate Recognition and Specificity of Chitin Deacetylases and Related Family 4 Carbohydrate Esterases

Carbohydrate esterases family 4 (CE4 enzymes) includes chitin and peptidoglycan deacetylases, acetylxylan esterases, and poly-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylases that act on structural polysaccharides, altering their physicochemical properties, and participating in diverse biological functions. Chitin...
