Bacteria have aggressive acquisition processes for iron, an essential nutrient. Siderophores
are small iron chelators that facilitate cellular iron transport. The siderophore enterobactin is …

Bacillibactin and enterobactin are hexadentate catecholate siderophores produced by
bacteria upon iron limitation to scavenge ferric ion and seem to be the ultimate siderophores …

The siderophore enterobactin (Ent) is produced by many species of enteric bacteria to
mediate iron uptake. This iron scavenger can be reincorporated by the bacteria as the ferric …

The siderophore enterobactin (Ent) is produced by enteric bacteria to mediate iron uptake.
Ent scavenges iron and is taken up by the bacteria as the highly stable ferric complex [FeIII …

Enterobactin mediates iron uptake in Escherichia coli and related bacteria. The structure of
the neutral protonated ferric enterobactin complex Fe [H3enterobactin] has been the source …

The ligand-gated outer membrane porin FepA serves Escherichia coli as the receptor for the
siderophore ferric enterobactin. We characterized the ability of seven analogs of …

Bacteria use small molecules called siderophores to scavenge iron. Siderophore-Fe3+
complexes are recognised by outer-membrane transporters and imported into the periplasm …

The design and syntheses of monofunctionalized enterobactin (Ent, l-and d-isomers)
scaffolds where one catecholate moiety of enterobactin houses an alkene, aldehyde, or …

The enterobactin system for iron transport in Escherichia coli is well characterized with the
exception of the mechanism of enterobactin secretion to the extracellular environment …

To acquire essential Fe (III), bacteria produce and secrete siderophores with high affinity
and selectivity for Fe (III) to mediate its uptake into the cell. Here, we show that the …
