Abstract
Traditional proteomics methodology allows global analysis of protein abundance but does not provide information on the regulation of protein activity. Proteases, in particular, are known for their multilayered post-translational activity regulation that can lead to a significant difference between protease abundance levels and their enzyme activity. To address these issues, the field of activity-based proteomics has been established in order to characterize protein activity and monitor the functional regulation of enzymes in complex proteomes. In this review, we present structural features of activity-based probes for proteases and discuss their applications in proteomic profiling of various catalytic classes of proteases.Entities:
