X Abstract

Experimental and theoretical studies of the catalytic mechanism in protein tyrosine phosphatases and dual specific phosphatases are reviewed. The structural properties of these enzymes contributing to the efficient rate enhancement of phosphate monoester hydrolysis have been established during the last decade. There are, however, uncertainties in the interpretation of available experimental data that make the commonly assumed reaction mechanism somewhat doubtful. Theoretical calculations as well as analysis of crystal structures point towards an alternative interpretation of the ionisation state in the reactive complex.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
