It is organised into a fibronectin III module domain-like fold, comprising only beta strands. Its function is not known, but it may be involved in interaction with the enzyme substrate, chitin [1,2]. It is separated by a hinge region from the catalytic domain (Pfam:PF00704); this hinge region is probably mobile, allowing the N-terminal domain to have different relative positions in solution [1].

chitinase (GH18, Class II)  M-CSA #478

Chitinase binds to chitin and randomly cleaves glycosidic linkages in chitin and chitodextrins in a non-processive mode, generating chitooligosaccharides and free ends on which exo-chitinases and exo-chitodextrinases can act. Chitin is a bio-polymer composed of 1,4-beta linked N-acetylglucosamine units, a major component of fungal cell walls and insect exoskeletons.

The bacterial chitinase enzyme is an 18-family member, and is used by bacteria to catalyse the degradation of chitin to form products which are then used as a source of energy.
