title: Homocaldopentamine: a new naturally occurring pentaamine.
abstract: A new pentaamine was extracted from an extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus strain HB8, and its chemical structure was determined to be 1,16-diamino-4,8,12-triazahexadecane (see structure 1). A trivial name, homocaldopentamine, was proposed for the new naturally occurring polyamine.
