The crystal structure of the class IIIb chitinase from Crocus vernus is reported, together with in silico analyses of inhibitor interactions and antifungal and chitinase assays #CrocusVernus #Chitinase #TIM doi.org/10.1107/S205...

“… #PhaseolusVulgaris, #bananas, #chestnuts, #kiwifruit, #avocados, #papaya, & #tomatoes, for example, all contain significant levels of chitinase, as defense against #fungal & #invertebrate attack
Stress, or environmental signals like ethylene gas, may stimulate increased production of #chitinase”
