Determination of Ion Atmosphere Effects on the Nucleic Acid Electrostatic Potential and Ligand Association Using AH<sup>+</sup>·C Wobble Formation in Double-Stranded DNA Open
The high charge density of nucleic acids and resulting ion atmosphere profoundly influence the conformational landscape of RNA and DNA and their association with small molecules and proteins. Electrostatic theories have been applied to qua…

Coordination Chemistry of Microbial Iron Transport Open
This Account focuses on the coordination chemistry of the microbial iron chelators called siderophores. The initial research (early 1970s) focused on simple analogs of siderophores, which included hydroxamate, catecholate, or hydroxycarbox…

Siderocalin-mediated recognition, sensitization, and cellular uptake of actinides Open
Significance The release of actinides in the environment, particularly after a nuclear power plant accident or the potential use of a radiological dispersal device, is a public health threat, as all actinides are radioactive and will trigg…

Catechol Siderophore Transport by Vibrio cholerae Open
Siderophores, small iron-binding molecules secreted by many microbial species, capture environmental iron for transport back into the cell. Vibrio cholerae synthesizes and uses the catechol siderophore vibriobactin and also uses siderophor…
