EDTA is an organic compound, its chemical formula is C10H16N2O8, white powder at normal temperature and pressure.It is a chelating agent that can bind with Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Fe2+ and other divalent metal ions.Because most nucleases and some proteases need Mg2+, they are often used as inhibitors of nucleases and proteases.It can also be used to remove the inhibition of enzyme by heavy metal ions
