Iron(III) Complex of a Trihydroxamate Ligand with an Ala-Ala-(HO)Gly-Ala Sequence as a Model for Ferrioxamines. Formation of Well-Defined Peptide Loop Structure

A dodecapeptide trihydroxamate ligand forms a well-defined chiral complex with iron(III) in which this small linear peptide assumes a unique loop conformation, uncommon to protein structures. The complex exhibits siderophore activity for a test microorganism.
