Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium
Metal Chelators
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium (EDTA tetrasodium) is a potent metal chelator that binds to bivalent and trivalent metal cations, including calcium. This compound exhibits various biological activities, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticoagulant effects. EDTA tetrasodium mitigates metal ion-catalyzed oxidative damage to proteins and supports a reducing environment during protein purification processes. Its application extends to research in liver fibrosis, coronary artery disease, and neurological disorders, making it a valuable tool in biochemical studies.
