Magnesium chloride hexahydrate, for molecular biology

Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2 hexahydrate), for molecular biology is the hexahydrate form of magnesium dichloride. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate can be used as a source of magnesium ion and a co-foactor for many enzymes. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate increases the activity of Ca2+ ATPase[1].
