Protein tyrosine phosphatases are not considered to be metalloenzymes. Yet, they inhibited by zinc cations and metal non-metal oxyanions that chemical analogues of phosphate, e.g. vanadate. Metal inhibition is generally recognized as these enzymes purified, supplied, assayed with buffers containing chelating reducing agents. We screened a series anions for their capacity inhibit protein phosphatase 1B discuss the ensuing general issues constants reported in scientific literature. In contrast...
