无机焦磷酸酶（酵母）

描述

Description:
The Pyrophosphatase, inorganic (PPase) catalyzes the hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate to two orthophosphates. The enzyme requires a divalent metal cation, with Mg²⁺ conferring the highest activity.

Applications:

• High yield synthesis of RNA by in vitro transcription^(1,2)
• DNA polymerization reactions: preventing accumulation of pyrophosphate^{(3, 4)}
• Removal of contaminant PPi in reagents used for SNP genotyping by methods based on the detection of pyrophosphate⁽⁵⁾

Source:
E. coli cells with a cloned ppa gene of Sacharomyces cerevisiae

Unit Definition:
One unit is the amount of enzyme that will generate 1 µmol of phosphate per minute from inorganic pyrophosphate under standard reaction conditions (a 10 minute reaction at 25°C in 100 mM Tris-HCL, [pH 7.2], 2 mM MgCl2 and 2 mM PPi in a reaction volume of 0.5 ml).

Storage Conditions:
20 mM Tris-HCl
100 mM KCl
1 mM Dithiothreitol
0.1 mM EDTA
50% Glycerol
pH 8.0 @ 25°C

Recommended Storage Condition: -20°C
