Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of
physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially …

Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species, referred to as ROS, RNS, and RSS,
respectively, are produced during normal cell function and in response to various stimuli. An …

Streptomyces bacteria are ubiquitous in soil, conferring the characteristic earthy smell, and
they have an important ecological role in the turnover of organic material. More recently, a …

The transition or d-block metal ions manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and to a
more specialized degree molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium have been shown to be …

Iron is necessary for the survival of almost all aerobic organisms. In the mammalian host,
iron is a required cofactor for the assembly of functional iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster proteins …

The broad range of cellular activities carried out by Fe–S proteins means that they have a
central role in the life of most organisms. At the interface between biology and chemistry …

Iron is a critical nutrient for the growth and survival of most bacterial species. Accordingly,
much attention has been paid to the mechanisms by which host organisms sequester iron …

Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species function in host defense via mechanisms that remain
controversial. Pathogens might encounter varying levels of these species, but bulk …

Staphylococcus aureus is both a commensal and a pathogen of the human host. Survival in
the host environment requires resistance to host-derived nitric oxide (NO·). However, S …
