3.2.1.200

Accepted name:

exo-chitinase (non-reducing end)

Reaction:

Hydrolysis of N,N′-diacetylchitobiose from the non-reducing end of chitin and chitodextrins.

Other name(s):

chiB (gene name)

Systematic name:

(1→4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucan diacetylchitobiohydrolase (non-reducing end)

Comments:

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).
