Abstract excerpt
β-N-acetylhexosaminidases from the gut microbes are found to be capable of cleaving the specific glycoside linkages in the process of mucin degradation that has relevance for human health. However, features of the enzyme used in regulating the sugar-degrading capacities of Akkermansia muciniphila have not been well defined. Here we reported the crystal structure of a novel β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from...
