  • Patent number: 11891655
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2022
    Date of Patent: February 6, 2024
    Assignee: Battelle Memorial Institute
    Inventors: Aaron T. Wright, Susan Ramos-Hunter, Christopher Whidbey
