General description

Pyrophosphate phosphohydrolase
The enzyme pyrophosphatase is ubiquitously distributed in a number of organisms.

Specificity

Specific activity: Approximately 200 U/mg at +25°C with inorganic pyrophosphate as the substrate.

Application

Inorganic pyrophosphatase has been used in enzyme assays and enzyme inhibition studies.
Pyrophosphatase, inorganic (PPase) has been used in :
  • Enzymatic nitric oxide (NO) detection system
  • In vitro transcription
  • Multiply-primed rolling circle amplification

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inorganic pyrophosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate to orthophosphate.
Mg ions are necessary for catalytic activity of crystalline pyrophosphatase.

Quality

Diagnosis of eukaryotic parasitic infection using antibody-based tests such as ELISAs (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) is often problematic because of the need to differentiate between homologous host and pathogen proteins and to ensure that antibodies raised against a peptide will also

Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical involved in many physiological processes including regulation of blood pressure, immune response, and neurotransmission. However, the measurement of extremely low, in some cases subnanomolar, physiological concentrations of nitric oxide presents an analytical challenge.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
