Mastering the chemical language of bacteria
Abstract
The publication of the crystal structures of a bacterial quorum sensing receptor complexed with a variety of ligands (Zou and Nair, 2009) provides a much-needed molecular rationale for the modulation of this intercellular signaling process, which may facilitate the development of new therapeutic agents.
