Additional information:
Inorganic Pyrophosphatase (iPPase, EC 3.6.1.1) is a recombinant hydrolase cloned from S. cerevisiae and overexpressed in H. polymorpha. The enzyme is active as dimer and requires divalent cations such as Mg 2+ to catalyse the reaction. iPPase can pull energy consuming reactions requiring ATP hydrolysis by hydrolizing the resulting diphosphate e.g. during in vitro RNA synthesis.
