The relationship between pH and degradation mechanisms at the active site of each enzyme; (1) chitosanase mechanisms: (a) inverting mechanism and (b) retaining mechanism of cleaving glycosylic bonds proposed by Thadathil, N. and Velappan, S.P (2014) [38]; (2) mechanism of the pepsin-like family of aspartic peptidases proposed by Andreeva N.S., Rumsh L.D. (2001) [62]. (3) Mechanism of α-amylase cleaving glycosidic bonds proposed by MacGregor, E.A., et al. (2001) [54]. See the Supplementary Materials (relationship between pH and degradation mechanisms at the active site of each enzyme) for more detailed explanations.
