title: Expanding the Toolkit for the Serine Hydrolases.
abstract: In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Cognetta et al. (2015) describe new pharmacological tools, including N-hydroxyhydantoin-containing carbamate inhibitors and an activity-based probe, for palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 and alpha, beta-hydrolase domain-4 that expand the toolkit for the serine hydrolases.
