[[Image:Figure_1.png|left|thumb|'''Figure 1.''' Reaction catalyzed by Inorganic Pyrophosphatase (PPase)]]PPases act to cleave PPi as it is a byproduct in many biosynthetic reactions that include protein, RNA and DNA synthesis<ref name = "kankare"/>. By cleaving the PPi in these synthesis reactions it shifts the equilibrium constants towards biosynthesis <ref name ="kankare"/>. In order to achieve PPi cleavage PPases require a divalent metal ion, usually magnesium <ref name = "kankare"/>. Calcium, alternatively, has been shown to fully suppress PPase activity <ref name = "samygina"/>. PPi hydrolysis is a complicated process that is still not fully understood <ref name = "samygina"/>. | [[Image:Figure_1.png|left|thumb|'''Figure 1.'''
