D007502	Iron Chelating Agents	Organic chemicals that form two or more coordination links with an iron ion. Once coordination has occurred, the complex formed is called a chelate. The iron-binding porphyrin group of hemoglobin is an example of a metal chelate found in biological systems.	Iron Chelates,Agents, Iron Chelating,Chelates, Iron,Chelating Agents, Iron
