Chitodextrinase Clostridium Botulinum Recombinant fused with a 13 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 590 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 66.9kDa. The Chitodextrinase is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Chitodextrinase is a unique membrane-bound endoenzyme. The chitodextrinase enzyme cleaves soluble oligomers, but not chitin, to the di- and trisaccharides. Chitodextrinase is unable to solubilize chitin, but it can catalyze the hydrolysis of high to low molecular weight soluble chitin oligosaccharides.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Chitodextrinase in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
