Autoinducer-Fluorophore Conjugates {Enable|Allow} FRET in LuxR Proteins in Vitro and in Cells
Cell-to-cell signaling, or quorum sensing (QS), in Gram-negative bacteria is governed by {small|little|tiny|modest|smaller|compact} molecule signals (N-acyl L-homoserine lactones, AHLs) and their cognate intracellular receptors (LuxR-type proteins). The mechanistic underpinnings of…
