Activity-based probes that can be used to selectively identify and characterize enzymes that are involved in different phases of xenobiotic metabolism in a host and its microbiota population(s) are described. The activity-based probes described specifically label only their target active enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism and therefore provide a measurement of true protein functional activity rather than transcript or protein abundance. The activity-based probes also provide multimodal profiling of these active enzymes. Methods for preparing the activity based probes and exemplary methods for their use also are disclosed.

Described herein are methods for preparing chiral ?-amino acids using chiral phosphoric acids as catalysts. The disclosed methods can use amino-malonic acids as substrates to generate chiral amino acids with a variety of side chains in high optional purity (such as an ee value of at least 70%) and with a high yield (i.e., a yield of at least 80%, such as in a range from about 80% to about 99%), via an asymmetric decarboxylation reaction. The decarboxylation reaction of the methods is catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acids that can achieve a selective protonation during decarboxylation, which is considered one of the most difficult processes in asymmetric catalysis.
