additional information LlChi18A has a shallow substrate-binding groove characteristic of nonprocessive endochitinases. LlChi18A is able to hydrolyse both chitin oligomers and artificial substrates, with no sign of processivity. Substrate specificity and binding preferences, overview Lactococcus lactis ?
