Siderophores are low-molecular-weight chelators produced by microorganisms to scavenge
iron from the environment and deliver it to cells via specific receptors. Tremendous …

Siderophores are low-molecular-weight iron chelators that are produced and exported by
bacteria, fungi and plants during periods of nutrient deprivation. The structures, biosynthetic …

Siderophores are metal-binding secondary metabolites that assist in iron homeostasis and
have been of interest to the scientific community for the last half century. Foundational …

Invasive fungal infections such as aspergillosis are life-threatening diseases mainly affecting
immuno-compromised patients. The diagnosis of fungal infections is difficult, lacking …

Siderophores are chelators synthesized by bacteria and fungi to sequester iron, which is
essential for virulence and pathogenicity. Since the process involves active transport, which …

Fungi pose a global threat to humankind due to the increasing emergence of multi-drug-
resistant fungi. There is a rising incidence of invasive fungal infections. Due to the structural …

Iron is an essential trace element that is limiting in most habitats including hosts for fungal
pathogens. Siderophores are iron-chelators synthesized by most fungal species for high …

Siderophores provide an established platform for studying molecular recognition principles
in biological systems. Herein, the preparation of ferrichrome (FC) biomimetic analogues …

The pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus utilizes a cyclic ferrioxamine E (FOXE)
siderophore to acquire iron from the host. Biomimetic FOXE analogues were labeled with …
