Pyoverdin is the primary high-affinity Fe binding siderophore produced by fluorescent Pseudomonas species.1 Here we developed the synthesis of two pyoverdin chemical probes i.e., pyoverdin diazirine and pyoverdin mimic benzophenone probe (Figure 1). These probes contain a photoreactive group (diazirine/benzophenone), and a `click` handle which has allowed us to perform chemical proteomics experiments in order toidentify putative unknown proteins that bind pyoverdin.2 We identified several proteins that thus far had not been annotated as pyoverdin binders.
