N,N,N-Triacetylchitotriose is a chiral compound that is formed from the acetylation of chitin. It has been shown to be an antigen for monoclonal antibodies and a model system for exploring the enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin. N,N,N-Triacetylchitotriose can be used to investigate the catalytic mechanism of chitinase enzymes, which are involved in breaking down the polysaccharide chitin. It has also been shown to have bioactive properties, such as inhibiting lectins and binding with mannose receptors.
