Description

N-Methyliminodiacetic acid is a monosodium salt that is produced by the reaction of methylamine and malonic acid. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on enzymes and metabolic rates in the human body. The structure of N-methyliminodiacetic acid contains a hydroxyl group, which can form hydrogen bonding interactions with nitrogen atoms in proteins, forming a chelate ligand. This type of binding is thought to be responsible for its ability to inhibit enzyme activities and metabolic rate.
