     5. (Chem.) To bind, so as to make [a metal ion] unavailable
        in its normal form; -- said of chelating agents, such as
        EDTA, which, in a solution, bind tightly to multivalent
        metal cations, thereby lowering their effective
        concentration in solution. Compounds employed particularly
        for this purpose are called sequestering agents, or
        chelating agents. In biochemistry, sequestration is one
        means of reversibly inhibiting enzymes which depend on
        divalent metal cations (such as Magnesium) for their
        activity. Such agents are used, for example, to help
        preserve blood for storage and subsequent use in
        transfusion. >
