INHIBITION OF CHITIN DEACETYLASE BY ACETIC ACID PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2009, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The current paper reports on a preliminary investigation of the mechanism of inhibition of chitin deacetylase isolated from Absidia orchidis vel coerulea by the acetic acid released during the deacetylation process. It is suggested that the process follows the competitive inhibition with respect to acetic acid. The reaction rate was correlated with the concentration of accessible GlcNAc mers in the polymer.
