title: Modeling the inhibition of peptide deformylase by hydroxamic acids: influence of the sulfur donor.
abstract: The first complexes containing both a sulfur atom and a hydroxamate moiety coordinated to a biologically relevant transition metal were synthesized as models for the structure of inhibited peptide deformylases. Two of these [(N(2)S)Zn(hydroxamate)] complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The first contains a thioether and a simple hydroxamate, the second a thiolate and a N-substituted hydroxamate. Isolation of a complex with a thiolate and a simple hydroxamate group was not possible.
