Novel Activity‐Based Probes for Broad‐Spectrum Profiling of Retaining β‐Exoglucosidases In Situ and In Vivo

Abstract

A high-end label: Cyclophellitol aziridine-type activity-based probes allow for ultra-sensitive visualization of mammalian β-glucosidases (GBA1, GBA2, GBA3, and LPH) as well as several non-mammalian β-glucosidases (see picture). These probes offer new ways to study β-exoglucosidases, and configurational isomers of the cyclophellitol aziridine core may give activity-based probes targeting other retaining glycosidase families.
