Abstract excerpt
Chondroitin sulfate ABC lyase (ChonABC) is an enzyme with broad specificity that depolymerizes via beta-elimination chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). ChonABC eliminates the glycosidic bond of its GAG substrates on the nonreducing end of their uronic acid component. This lyase possesses the unusual ability to act on both epimers of uronic acid, either glucuronic acid...
