Structural and Biochemical Characterization of AidC, a Quorum-Quenching Lactonase With Atypical Selectivity [PDF]
, 2015 Quorum-quenching catalysts are of interest for potential application as biochemical tools for interrogating interbacterial communication pathways, as antibiofouling agents, and as anti-infective agents in plants and animals.

A Convenient Synthesis of L-α-Vinylglycine from L-Homoserine Lactone [PDF]
Synthesis, 1996 A procedure for the synthesis of L-α-vinylglycine from L-homoserine lactone is described. The route developed is convenient (only one chromatography step is required) and efficient (72% yield; ≥95% optical yield over 4 steps). Key features include the use of acid-labile protecting groups for the amino (Boc) and carboxyl (diphenylmethyl ester) groups ...

Sensors, 2015 The cooling water systems are used to remove heat generated in the various industries. Biofouling of the cooling water systems causes blocking of condenser pipes and the heat exchanger tubes. In many Gram-negative bacteria, N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)

Structure and mechanism of a phage-encoded SAM lyase revises catalytic function of enzyme family
eLife, 2021 The first S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) degrading enzyme (SAMase) was discovered in bacteriophage T3, as a counter-defense against the bacterial restriction-modification system, and annotated as a SAM hydrolase forming 5’-methyl-thioadenosine (MTA) and L ...

Production of both l‐ and d‐ N‐acyl‐homoserine lactones by Burkholderia cepacia and Vibrio fischeri
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 Quorum sensing (QS) is a complex process in which molecules, such as l‐N‐acyl‐homoserine lactones (l‐AHLs), are produced as essential signaling molecules allowing bacteria to detect and respond to cell population density by gene regulation.
