New Paper on Siderophore Sensors

MARCH 11, 2022

The Lawrenz Lab was part of a collaborative team that created fluorescent sensors that detect, discriminate, and quantify siderophores including yersiniabactin. In a paper published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the team reports on using the sensors to monitor siderophore transport by microbial pathogens as well as to quantify affinity. These sensors provide insights into ferric siderophore biosynthesis and uptake pathways in pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria.
