Synthesis of two methylolanthanin derivatives and the investigation of their lanthanide and iron binding capabilities

Lanthanides (Lns) have recently been recognized as essential cofactors for certain bacterial enzymes, such as methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), yet their poor bioavailability under physiological conditions has long suggested the existence of Ln-binding metallophores termed lanthanophores. In this context methylolanthanin (...
