- Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study which examined the substrate specificity of chitinases isozymes from greenling fish, common mackerel and tobacco hornworm. The study revealed that fish and insect chitinases have unique substrate specificities that are correlated with their physiologic roles in food or cuticle digestion.
