QUICK LINKS

EGTA tetrasodium salt is a chelating agent that binds to divalent cations such as calcium and magnesium. EGTA tetrasodium salt functions as a tool to sequester these ions, preventing them from interfering with certain biochemical reactions. By chelating these ions, EGTA tetrasodium salt can effectively inhibit the activity of enzymes that require divalent cations as cofactors. Scientist study the specific roles of these enzymes in cellular processes without the confounding influence of calcium or magnesium. EGTA tetrasodium salt can be used to buffer solutions at a specific pH, providing a stable environment for experimental procedures. Its mode of action involves forming stable complexes with divalent cations, effectively removing them from the experimental system and allowing for precise control over the biochemical processes under investigation.
