Hybrid QM/MM study on the deglycosylation step of chitin hydrolysis catalysed by chitinase B from Serratia marcescens

Chitinase B (ChiB) from Serratia marcescens is an exo-chitinase that degrades chitin chains from the non-reducing end by cleaving off a dimer or trimer sugar product. This enzyme features the substrate-assisted mechanism for the cleavage of the β-1,4-glycosidic bond. In this study, the deglycosylati...
