   Chitinases are glycoside hydrolases that specifically cleave the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc). Chitin is one of the most abundant structural polysaccharides in nature and is widely present in crustacean exoskeletons, insect cuticles, fungal cell ...
