Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are P1,P4-bis(5'-guanosyl) tetraphosphate and H2O, whereas its two products are GTP and GMP.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is P1,P4-bis(5'-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphate nucleotidohydrolase. Other names in common use include bis(5'-guanosyl)-tetraphosphatase, bis(5'-adenosyl)-tetraphosphatase, diguanosinetetraphosphatase (asymmetrical), dinucleosidetetraphosphatase (asymmetrical), diadenosine P1,P4-tetraphosphatase, dinucleoside tetraphosphatase, and 1-P,4-P-bis(5'-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphate nucleotidohydrolase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism and pyrimidine metabolism.

gollark: I don't actually know anything about Laplace transforms beyond that you can use them to do certain differential equations easily, and they're vaguely like more generalized Fourier transforms.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Is this describing some weird oscillatey thing?
gollark: Why does your engineering have linear algebra in it? Can it be stopped?
