Studies on inorganic pyrophosphatase using imidodiphosphate as a substrate. 1986

I N Smirnova, and A A Baykov, and S M Avaeva

Baker's yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase has been found to catalyze Mg2+-dependent hydrolysis of imidodiphosphate yielding phosphate and amidophosphate. The reaction proceeds linearly in the presteady state. The catalytic constant is maximal at pH 9.0 and equals 0.5 min-1. Kinetic titrations of the enzyme with imidodiphosphate and Mg2+ have provided direct evidence for the involvement of three Mg2+ per active site in the transition state of the pyrophosphatase reaction.

D011755	Pyrophosphatases	A group of enzymes within the class EC 3.6.1.- that catalyze the hydrolysis of diphosphate bonds, chiefly in nucleoside di- and triphosphates. They may liberate either a mono- or diphosphate. EC 3.6.1.-.	Pyrophosphatase
D004164	Diphosphonates	Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
