Structural insights of the enzymes from the chitin utilization locus of Flavobacterium johnsoniae

Abstract Chitin is one of the most abundant renewable organic materials found on earth. The chitin utilization locus in Flavobacterium johnsoniae, which encodes necessary proteins for complete enzymatic depolymerization of crystalline chitin, has recently been characterized but no detailed structura...
