This book provides a comprehensive overview of chitin biology and
chitin metabolism related enzymes. Chitin, the second most abundant
biopolymer in nature after to cellulose, is a linear biopolymer
composed of -1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), and an
essential component in the exoskeletons of insects, mites, ticks
and crustaceans, the egg shells of parasitic nematodes, and fungal
cell walls. Although some chitin-containing organisms are a threat
to human health, food safety and agricultural production,
non-chitin containing organisms like humans, mammals and plants
have an innate immune response to these hazardous organisms. The
book provides researchers and students with information on the
recent research advances concerning the biology of
chitin-containing organisms as well as cross-talks between
chitin-containing and non-chitin-containing organisms. Highlighting
chitin remodeling enzymes and inhibitors, it also offers drug
developers essential insights into designing specific molecules for
the control of hazardous chitin-containing organisms.
