What is the role of EDTA in TAE & TBE buffers used in molecular genetics; Tris with either Boric acid or Acetic acid can be buffers by them selves ?

Unlike all buffer components, EDTA is tetravalent and has four pK values. Hence it conducts more electric current producing more heat. Since generations they are there in text books and so no...
