Engineering of a thermostable esterase Est816 to improve its quorum-quenching activity and the underlying structural basis

N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are small diffusible molecules called autoinducers that mediate cell-to-cell communications. Enzymatic degradation of AHLs is a promising bio-control strategy known as quorum-quenching. To improve the quorum-quenching activity of a thermostable esterase Est816, whic...
