title: Seeing is believing: real-time cellular activity assay for phospholipase A2.
abstract: Quantitative real-time in situ activity assays are necessary for determining the physiological function and regulation of enzymes. A paper in this issue reports the synthesis of a series of new fluorogenic phospholipids that allow fast real-time measurements of cellular activity and head group selectivity of an important family of enzyme, phospholipases.
