protein storage

Edetic acid (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a chelating agent commonly used in protein purification, both to eliminate contaminating divalent cations and to inhibit protease activity.

Myoglobin is a small pigment protein composed of globin and heme (Heme), capable of reversibly binding with oxygen to form MbO2, known as oxy-myoglobin, while Mb refers to deoxy-myoglobin. Within muscle cells, myoglobin plays a role in the transport and storage of oxygen.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) sodium hydrate is a metal chelator that binds with divalent and trivalent metal cations, including calcium. It exhibits antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hypercalcemic, and anticoagulant properties. EDTA sodium hydrate reduces protein oxidation damage catalyzed by metal ions and maintains a reducing environment during protein purification, making it a common choice for protein purification and storage. Additionally, it can alleviate liver fibrosis and is used in research related to coronary artery disease and neurological disorders.
