摘要
Chemical communication ("quorum sensing") amongst bacteria has been studied by the synthesis and study of enantiopure (R)-4,5-dihydroxy-2,3- pentanedione (DPD, see scheme). Bioactivity assays with DPD have shown that chelation of boron by the cyclic form of DPD appears to be essential for full induction of bioluminescence, which is an example of quorum-sensing-controlled behavior.
