The Interplay Between Molybdopterin Synthase and Metal Metabolism Contributes to Pathogenicity in Acinetobacter baumannii

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pathogenic Acinetobacter baumannii scavenges metal ions as nutritional elements to survive within the host. This study demonstrates that molybdopterin synthase is essential for pathogenesis and full virulence during infection. Molybdopterin synthase subunit MoaE constitutes an intrinsically disordered C‐terminal histidine rich tail, which mediates ...

Influence of 6‐Trifluoromethyluracil Versus Chloride Counterions in the Properties of Bis‐(1,10‐Phenanthroline)chloridecopper(II) Motif: Spectroscopic and In Vitro Biological Activity Assays

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
This work explores the influence of 6‐trifluoromethyluracil versus chloride counterions on the antibacterial and antitumoral activities of bis‐(1,10‐phenanthroline)chloridecopper(II) motif. The counterion modulates antibacterial potency and the identity of the dominant reactive species, while leaving DNA recognition by the shared cation essentially ...
