Question: Consider the following two molecules. The left ( bottom ) structure is pyoverdine, a siderophore ( iron - binding molecule ) , which is used

Consider the following two molecules. The left(bottom) structure is pyoverdine, a siderophore (iron-
binding molecule), which is used by microbes to obtain iron (or other metal ion) from the environment.
The right (top) structure is hamycin, an antifungal compound produced by certain filamentous soil
bacteria, such as streptomyces.
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 (protons which are invoved in polar covalent bonds) are present in this
molecule (if any)? If there are titratable protons, identify them in the molecule. (2 pts)
 Consider the following two molecules. The left(bottom) structure is pyoverdine, a
