Abstract excerpt
Transglycosylation (TG) by Enterobacter cloacae subsp. cloacae chitinase 2 (EcChi2) has been deciphered by site-directed mutagenesis. EcChi2 originally displayed feeble TG with chitin oligomer with a degree of polymerization (DP4), for a short duration. Based on the 3D modelling and molecular docking analyses, we altered the substrate interactions at the substrate-binding cleft, catalytic center, and catalytic...
