Application

N,N′,N′′-Triacetylchitotriose has been used:
  • as a competitive inhibitor of the enzymatic activity of lysozyme to treat Macrophages to inhibit the constitutively lysozyme production
  • to dock the catalytic cleft of Cel9A (endocellulases)
  • as an inhibitory sugar to access the specificity of labelling with gold complexed lectin

Biochem/physiol Actions

N,N′,N′′-Triacetylchitotriose is a chitin oligosaccharide, that promotes lysozyme inhibition. Chitin oligosaccharides are associated with many physiological functions. They are biodegradable and are useful in identifying chitin polysaccharides and associated glycoconjugates.

Preparation Note

Herein we study, through all atom molecular dynamics simulations, the complex between hevein and two N-acetylated chitin oligomers, namely N,N(')-diacetylchitobiose and N,N('),N(")-triacetylchitotriose. The results of the simulations for two disaccharide complexes and one trisaccharide complex show that a carbohydrate oligomer
