Chitin synthase (CHS) is a potential agricultural and therapeutic target. Recently, the crystal structures of CHS from Phytophthora sojae (PsChs1) and Candida albicans (CaChs2) were reported. Here, we highlight the achievements of PsChs1 and CaChs2, which would give some clues for design new inhibitor targeted upon CHS.
