Can you post a link or cite on that MgSO4 info?

I've read a couple abstracts that show EDTA is effective in inactivating alkaline phosphatase. EDTA is about the most effective chelating agent out there. It's also safe and makes a good preservative. I've discussed it a bit at the shroomery and I think it would make a great preservative for our needs.

Phosphatase enzymes require iron ions to do their work so EDTA is about as effective as it gets, but I'd like to hear about MgSO4 also. How is it able to inactivate phosphatases?
