Abstract excerpt
The photoreactive p-azidobenzoyl analog of ferrioxamine B was used to show that ferrioxamine-B-mediated iron transport is separate and distinct from coprogen-mediated iron transport in Escherichia coli. Photolysis of this analog inhibited uptake of [59Fe]ferrioxamine B but not [59Fe]ferrichrome. Conversely, photolysis of the p-azidobenzoyl analog of coprogen B inhibited uptake of [59Fe]coprogen but not...
