NIH awarded a grant to develop chemical biology tools to study variability in carboxylesterase activity, focusing on CES1 enzyme using fluorogenic probes.
Description
The project aims to develop chemical probes to report on CES1 activity in live samples. The project involves developing fluorogenic probes and chemical biology approaches. The award is part of NIH's efforts to build research capacity at institutions with limited NIH funding.
