Common NameAmphibactin H
DescriptionAmphibactin H is a siderophore belonging to the chemical class of catecholates. Its chemical structure features a hydroxamate functional group that facilitates iron chelation, which is crucial for its role in microbial iron acquisition. Amphibactin H is synthesized through a biosynthetic pathway involving non-ribosomal peptide synthetases, which assemble the molecule from amino acid precursors. In addition to its iron-binding properties, studies have demonstrated the interaction of various transition metal ions (M3+) with amphibactin, revealing that cobalt (Co) and gallium (Ga) form stable complexes with this siderophore, indicating its potential versatility in metal ion coordination (PMID:33273481 ). This interaction underlines amphibactin H's importance not only in iron transport but also in the modulation of metal ion availability in microbial environments. The ability of amphibactin H to bind different metal ions may influence the biological pathways it participates in, including those related to nutrient uptake and microbial competition.
