Function
The process of bacterial multiplication requires the acquisition of growth-essential nutrients including iron, from the host cell. Ferric-binding protein (FBP) transfers iron across the periplasmic space from human transferrin to pathogenic bacteria[1].
Structural highlights
The Fe atom in FBS is coordinated with 2 tyrosine side chains.
