Abstract:Phosphatases are hydrolytic enzymes that cleave the phosphoester bond of numerous substrates containing phosphorylated residues. The typical classification divides them into acid or alkaline depending on the pH at which they have optimal activity. The histidine phosphatase (HP) superfamily is a large group of functionally diverse enzymes characterized by having an active-site His residue that becomes phosphorylated during catalysis. HP enzymes are relevant biomolecules due to their current and potential applic… Show more
