Abstract excerpt
The determination of kinetic parameters of chitinases using natural substrates is difficult due to low K(m) values, which require the use of low substrate concentrations that are hard to measure. Using the natural substrate (GlcNAc)(4), we have developed an assay for the determination of k(cat) and K(m)values of chitinases. Product concentrations as low as 0.5 microM were detected using normal-phase...
