General description

Molecular Weight: 71 kDa (homodimer consisting of two equal subunits of molecular weight 32-35 kDa)
Extinction Coefficient: E1% = 14.5 (280 nm)
pI: 4.75
This ubiquitous enzyme serves to drive metabolic reactions that produce pyrophosphate, since these reactions typically have equilibrium constants near unity. The catalytic mechanism has been described in the literature. Inorganic pyrophosphatase is a metalloprotease that requires Mg2+ for maximal activity. Although the hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate is specific in the presence of Mg2+, both ADP and ATP can be hydrolyzed if zinc is present.

Application

Inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) is a ubiquitous enzyme catalyzing the reaction PPi + H2O → 2Pi.
It plays an important role in protein, RNA, and DNA synthesis.
Pyrophosphatase has been used:
  • as a component of the reaction buffer used in aminoacylation assay to quantify incorporation of [3H]L-methionine into tRNA.[1]
  • as a component of PCR mixture.[2]

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing 80-90% buffer salts

Other Notes

One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of inorganic orthophosphate per min at pH 7.2 at 25 °C.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. We would like to make a "blank" without enzyme for the powder resuspended at 2 mg/mL in water. Could you please share the concentration of Tris, citric acid and magnesium chloride?

    1 answer
    1. The specific buffer formulation used to prepare this product is considered proprietary. The buffer includes primarily Tris base, with sodium chloride and magnesium chloride (hexahydrate form), as well as a minimal amount of citric acid. Please see the link below to review additional information available in the product datasheet:

  2. I want to know what the endotoxin value is in this product(Pyrophosphatase, Sigma-Aldrich, I1643-1KU, LOT-SLCL2396).

    1 answer
    1. This product is NOT tested for endotoxin. Please see the Certificate of Analysis for testing that is performed.
