	The most prominent ligand involved in the structure of lipase is the <scene name='Sandbox_43/Calcium_ligand/3'>calcium ion</scene>. This ion has been shown to promote the folding of lipase into its active dimer state. As such, the calcium ion is extremely important in forming the lipase-fat complex, necessary for the breakdown of lipids. Studies have shown that an increase in calcium concentration in a lipase catalyzed reaction resulted in an increase in the rate of the reaction.
