4BJO - PubMed Abstract: 
The X-ray crystal structure of the complex of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B with nitrate anion has been determined and modelled quantum-mechanically. Two protomers were present in the structure, one with the mechanistically important WPD loop closed and the other with this loop open. Nitrate was observed bound to each protomer, making close contacts with the S atom of the catalytic cysteine and a tyrosine residue from a crystallographically related protomer.
