- Chitinase is a protein that breaks down chitin, a primary component of the cell wall in fungi, scales in fish and exoskeletons of arthropods. The activity of chitinase extracted from a plant was shown to be optimum at pH 5. You were tasked to prepare 300 mL of 150 mM buffer solution for further analysis of the extracted chitinase.
