Funded Activity Summary

All organisms require iron for their survival, including all bacterial species. Bacterial pathogens growing in anaerobic environments, such as in our gut, gum, or tissue, sequester iron through the divalent iron transporter FeoB. We aim to divulge the mechanism of iron transport through FeoB by structural and functional studies, and thus provide a scaffold for a non-conventional antimicrobial target.
