Abstract
⺠FbpA may be considered a structural and functional bacterial transferrin. ⺠The mechanism of FbpA mediated iron transport across the periplasm is described. ⺠FbpA is a naked iron carrier, a Fe-chel carrier, and a periplasmic binding protein. ⺠Studies reviewed here enhance understanding of human transferrin mechanisms. ⺠Studies reviewed here may provide approaches to the control of pathogenic diseases.
