• determine whether diethyl fluorophosphonate is a key intermediate in the reaction with aromatic alkynes. Based on a method by Gupta et al. [29], we obtained diethyl fluorophosphonate. Subsequently, the diethyl fluorophosphonate did not react with an aromatic alkyne in the desired phosphonofluorination so

• Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1065, USA 10.3762/bjoc.9.12 Abstract The fluorophosphonate (FP) moiety attached to a biotin tag is a prototype chemical probe used to quantitatively analyze and enrich active serine hydrolases in complex proteomes in an approach called activity-based protein profiling (ABPP

• these competition studies demonstrate a new application of FP-based probes seldom explored before. Keywords: biotin; fluorophosphonate; high turnover rate; reversible substrate; Introduction One of the goals of chemical biology is to develop small–molecule- and biomolecule-based probes to interrogate

• biological processes. In this regard, fluorophosphonate (FP) probes have been extensively used in activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) in proteomic studies [1][2]. FP probes, specifically designed to target serine hydrolases, originate from diisopropyl fluorophosphonate (DFP) [3][4]. DFP is a serine
