No longer in a class of its own : By using a gel‐free platform for activity‐based protein profiling (ABPP; see figure), it was shown that the enzyme sialic acid 9‐ O ‐acetylesterase (SAE), which shares no sequence homology with other enzymes, is a member of the serine hydrolase superfamily. The site of fluorophosphonate labeling in SAE was identified as serine 127; this residue is essential for catalytic activity.
