Chitinases (EC 3.2.1.14) catalyze the hydrolysis of chitin, which is a β-1,4-linked homopolymer or oligomer of N -acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc). Many researchers accept that one of the physiological roles of these chitinases is to protect plants against fungal pathogens by degrading chitin, a major component of the cell wall of many fungi. There is strong correlative evidence that low constitutive activity of chitinase found in many plants can be dramatically induced by infection with fungal pathogens. And

Using only water as solvent for purification of chitin and preparation of chitin materials is a new green technology. We propose a new method of chitin preparation without acid/base catalysts or organic solvents that can be achieved through the regulation of water temperature and pressure. ...and more

Cyclodextrins (CDs), cyclic oligosaccharides, are water-soluble host molecules that can include various kinds of guest molecules utilized not only in basic research but also as food additives. CDs with oligo-glucose structure have interesting properties; however, CDs can be chemically modified and thereby acquire new functions. We are studying the artificial hemoglobin “hemoCD”, which consists of a per-O-methylated CD dimer and iron porphyrin (FeTPPS). In this article, I describe the strategy of hemoCD prep
