| Comments | The enzyme cleaves chitin in an oxidative manner, releasing fragments of chitin with an N-acetylamino-D-glucono-1,5-lactone at the reducing end. The initially formed lactone at the reducing end of the shortend chitin chain quickly hydrolyses spontaneously to the aldonic acid. In vitro ascorbate can serve as reducing agent. The enzyme contains copper at the active site. |
| Cofactor | Cu2+ |
| History | |
| Reactions | ((1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)(n+m) + reduced acceptor + O(2) = ((1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)(m-1)-(1->4)-2-(acetylamino)-2- deoxy-D-glucono-1,5-lactone + ((1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)(n) + acceptor + H(2)O. |
