Abstract: N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are signal molecules used by a large number of gram-negative bacteria in quorum sensing and their hydrolysis is known to inhibit biofilm formation. Micellar imprinting of AHL-like templates with catalytic functional monomers yielded water-soluble nanoparticles with AHL-shaped active site and nearby catalytic groups. Either Lewis acidic zinc ions or nucleophilic pyridyl ligands could be introduced through this strategy, yielding artificial enzymes for the hydrolysis of AHLs in a substrate-selective fashion
