Multi-functionality of a tryptophan residue conserved in substrate-binding groove of GH19 chitinases
Abstract GH19 and GH22 glycoside hydrolases belonging to the lysozyme superfamily have a related structure/function. A highly conserved tryptophan residue, Trp103, located in the binding groove of a GH19 chitinase from moss Bryum coronatum (BcChi-A) appears to have a function similar to that of well...
