This known quorum-sensing modulator exhibits signs of an intramolecular attractive carbonyl–carbonyl n→π* interaction between the amide and lactone ester groups. Moreover,a similar n→π* interaction is observed for the amide carbonyl group approached by the ketone oxygen donor. These interactions apparently affect the conformation of the uncomplexed molecule, which adopts a different shape when bound to protein receptors.
