A DNA-assisted immunoassay for enzyme activity via a DNA-linked, activity-based probe

Abstract

Here, we describe an immunoassay approach for the detection of enzyme activity by quantitative PCR (qPCR) or parallel DNA sequencing which relies on activity-based probes linked to barcoding DNAs. We demonstrate this technique in the detection of serine hydrolase activities using a fluorophosphonate-oligonucleotide conjugate.
