Abstract excerpt
The conserved WPD loop of protein tyrosine phosphatases play an important role in the catalytic activity and the invariant aspartate residue acts as a general acid/base catalyst in the dephosphorylation reaction. In our previous report, we have demonstrated that the catalytic activities of the PTPs are influenced by the flexibility and stability of the WPD loop in its active "open" conformation [Yang et al.,...
