KEGG   ENZYME: 3.2.1.200
Entry
EC 3.2.1.200                Enzyme                                 
Name
exo-chitinase (non-reducing end);
chiB (gene name)
Class
Hydrolases;
Glycosylases;
Glycosidases, i.e. enzymes that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds
Sysname
(1->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucan diacetylchitobiohydrolase (non-reducing end)
Reaction(IUBMB)
Hydrolysis of N,N'-diacetylchitobiose from the non-reducing end of chitin and chitodextrins.
Comment
The enzyme hydrolyses the second glycosidic (1->4) linkage from non-reducing ends of chitin and chitodextrin molecules, liberating N,N'-diacetylchitobiose disaccharides. cf. EC 3.2.1.201, exo-chitinase (reducing end).
