Structural basis for directional chitin biosynthesis

Chitin, the most abundant aminopolysaccharide in nature, is an extracellular polymer consisting of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units(1). The key reactions of chitin biosynthesis are catalysed by chitin synthase(2–4), a membrane-integrated glycosyltransferase that transfers GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to...
