title: Molecular radio jamming: autoinducer analogs.
abstract: Synthesis of an N-acyl-homoserine lactone (N-acyl-HSL) analog library yields agonists and antagonists of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing system. Active compounds also reveal heterogeneity in the lactone ring binding pockets of N-acyl-HSL-activated transcription factors.
