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

The stereochemistry of the reaction catalysed by Serratia marcescens chitobiase was determined by HPLC separation of the anomers of N-acetylglucosamine produced during the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminide (PNP-GlcNAc). In the early stages of the reaction, the beta-anomer was found to
The X-ray diffraction analysis of N-o-nitrophenyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine (1), N-m-nitrophenyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosylamines, N-p-nitrophenyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosylamines, and their N-acetyl derivatives was performed. The sugar moieties always adopt (4)C1 conformations, however, due to crystal packing forces they are always slightly distorted. It was found that except N-acetyl, N-m-nitrophenyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine
