Description

Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) is a chelating agent that binds to iron and prevents its absorption. It is used as a water treatment agent for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater and to remove calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions from drinking water. Nitrilotriacetic acid has been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes involved in the synthesis of proteins, such as surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate reductase and dextran sulfate reductase. NTA also inhibits the growth of bacteria by altering their membrane integrity, which may be due to its ability to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
