Abstract excerpt
Protein tyrosine phosphatase B (PtpB) from Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA 252, is a low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase involved in its pathogenicity. PtpB has been modeled in silico and site-directed mutagenesis performed to ascertain the importance of active site residues Cys8, Arg14, Ser15 and Asp120 in its catalytic mechanism. Kinetic characterization of wild-type and the mutant PtpBs, C8S, R14A,...
