5. Consider the following two molecules. The left structure is enterobactin, a siderophore (iron-binding molecule), which is used by microbes to obtain iron from the environment. The right structure is Amphotericin B, is an antifungal compound produced by certain filamentous soil bacteria. A) In the above molecules, find AT LEAST 6 different functional groups - circle and identify (you should identify as many as you can). (3 pts) B) A different siderophore can be isolated from Yersinia pestis (the plague bacteria). How many titrable protons are present (if any) can you identify in this molecule? (2 pts)
