Chitin is an insoluble, linear polymer consisting of β-1, 4-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine units tightly packed in a crystalline structure. It is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, after cellulose, with an estimated annual production of about 1011 tons. Chitin is an essential structural component in the exoskeleton of crustaceans, arthropods, and insects, and is also found in the cell walls of certain fungi, algae, and parasitic nematodes. Enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides in biomass is of great biological importance. In nature, the degradation of chitin is catalyzed by chitinases, which are assigned to the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 18 in the CAZY database (www.cazy.org). Humans have two active chitina...
