title: Dimetallic hydrolases and their models.
abstract: Recent mechanistic studies of Fe3+/M2+ purple acid phosphatase present conflicting pictures about the roles of the metals. Recent model studies with Co3+/Co3+ and Fe3+/Fe3+ complexes have supported each conflicting mechanism for phosphate hydrolysis. With dizinc and trizinc complexes, the competitive binding of hydroxyl and phosphate substrates has been demonstrated.
