Abstract
⺠ROS are implicated as mediators of cell-signaling responses by targeting the PTPs. ⺠The exact identity of the oxidants that inactivate the PTPs is unknown. ⺠We show that the hydroxyl radical is capable of inactivating the PTPs. ⺠We also show that hydroxyl radical is a kinetically more efficient oxidant than H2O2. ⺠Hydroxyl radical is a more physiologically relevant oxidant for PTP inactivation.
