Methods are provided for detecting enzymatic activity of various lysosomal storage enzymes using substrates that include: a sugar moiety; a linker moiety allowing the conjugation of sugar moiety with the remaining structure of the substrate; and two or more fatty acid chains or derivatives thereof at least one of which is sufficiently structured to provide improved solubility in aqueous or organic solvent systems. Also provided are internal standards, and inhibitors for use in detecting or reducing enzymatic activity using the inventive substrates.
本发明提供了使用底物检测各种溶酶体贮存酶的酶活性的方法,这些底物包括:糖分子;可使糖分子与底物的剩余结构共轭的连接分子;以及两条或两条以上的
脂肪酸链或其衍
生物,其中至少有一条
脂肪酸链的结构足以改善其在
水性或有机溶剂体系中的溶解性。此外,还提供了用于检测或降低使用本发明底物的酶活性的内标和
抑制剂。
