The enzyme guanosine-3′,5′-bis(diphosphate) 3′-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.7.2)[1][2] catalyzes the reaction

guanosine 3′,5′-bis(diphosphate) + H2O GDP + diphosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on diphosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is guanosine-3′,5′-bis(diphosphate) 3′-diphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include guanosine-3′,5′-bis(diphosphate) 3′-pyrophosphatase, PpGpp-3'-pyrophosphohydrolase, and PpGpp phosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.

Structural studies[edit]

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1VJ7.
