EGTA
« on: April 29, 2010, 03:55:39 PM »
Can anyone tell me how EGTA (C14H24N2O10) binds to Ca 2+ ? And which part of the EGTA-molecule that interacts?

I've been googling this for a little while now, but I can't find anything about it, so I would strongly appreciate any answer :)

Thanks:) Does that mean that the four OH-groups and the two nitrogens of EGTA binds Ca 2+ in the same way that EDTA does? What would the net reaction be?

Something like that. Could be also ether oxygens (whatever they should be properly called) play a role.

For sure they react 1:1.
