Hydroxamate siderophore mediated iron uptake in E. coli : Stereospecific recognition of ferric rhodotorul IC acid

Ferric ion uptake via the fhuE receptor of E. coli is stereospecific; it prefers the Delta -absolute configuration of the metal complexes. The importance of the metal center and its adjacent functionalities for the stereospecific recognition of ferrichromes via TonA is discussed.
