4-Nitrophenyl N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminide is used as a substrate for determining the hydrolysing activities of pnp-glycopyranosides in the gut of larval and adult Psacothea hilaris.[1]

4-Nitrophenyl N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminide is used as a substrate for analysing β-hexoaminidase activity at 37°C and analysed at 405 nm.[2]
We found that the recombinant endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase of Mucor hiemalis (Endo-M) expressed in Candida boidinii had the transglycosylation activity of transferring a bisecting hybrid-type oligosaccharide from an ovalbumin glycopeptide to the acceptor (p-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside) in a good yield of 43%.

Chitin catabolism in Vibrio furnissii comprises several signal transducing systems and many proteins. Two of these enzymes are periplasmic and convert chitin oligosaccharides to GlcNAc and (GlcNAc)2. One of these unique enzymes, a chitodextrinase, designated EndoI, is described here. The

Chemical modification of p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) on beta-N-acetyl-d-glucosaminidase (NAGase, EC 3.2.1.52) from green crab (Scylla serrata) has been studied. The results show that sulfhydryl group is essential for the activity of the enzyme. Inhibitory kinetics of the enzyme by mercuric chloride
