Towards structural determination of the ComX pheromone: Synthetic studies on peptides containing geranyltryptophan

Bacteria produce and respond to signal molecules depending on their cell density. This process is called "quorum sensing". The ComX pheromone, controlled by quorum sensing, activates natural genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis. ComX is an oligopeptide with a posttranslational modificat...
