Activity-based probes that can be used to selectively identify and characterize enzymes that are involved in different phases of xenobiotic metabolism in a host and its microbiota population(s) are described. The activity-based probes described specifically label only their target active enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism and therefore provide a measurement of true protein functional activity rather than transcript or protein abundance. The activity-based probes also provide multimodal profiling of these active enzymes. Methods for preparing the activity based probes and exemplary methods for their use also are disclosed.

生物代谢的目标活性酶进行特异性标记,因此可以测量真正的蛋白质功能活性,而不是转录本或蛋白质丰度。基于活性的探针还能对这些活性酶进行多模式分析。此外,还公开了制备基于活性的探针的方法及其使用的示例性方法。
