The Structural Basis of the Binding of Various Aminopolycarboxylates by the Periplasmic EDTA-Binding Protein EppA from <i>Chelativorans</i> sp. BNC1
The widespread use of synthetic aminopolycarboxylates, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), as chelating agents has led to their contamination in the environment as stable metal–chelate complexes. Microorganisms can transport free EDTA, but not metal–EDTA complexes, into cells for metabolism....
