Metal binding ability of microbial natural metal chelators and potential applications

Nat Prod Rep. 2020 Sep 23;37(9):1262-1283. doi: 10.1039/c9np00058e.

Abstract

Covering: up to 2019 Siderophores are natural products which have attracted interest due to their ability to bind metal ions with high affinities. This review considers the complex formation of these natural chelators with all kinds of different metal and metalloid ions and links their chelating properties to potential biotechnological applications and towards environmental context.
