The disclosure is directed to compounds and methods for preparing purified macrocyclic peptide using “catch-release” methods. These methods comprise reacting a free amino group of a resin-bound linear peptide with an azide- or alkyne-functionalized cap to form a resin-bound capped linear peptide having an azide- or alkyne-functionalized cap; cleaving the capped linear peptide from the resin to form a free capped linear peptide having an azide- or alkyne-functionalized cap; reacting the free capped linear peptide having an azide-functionalized cap with an alkyne-functionalized catch resin, or reacting the free capped linear peptide having an akynyl-functionalized cap with an azide functionalized catch resin, to form a catch-resin bound capped linear peptide; reacting the catch-resin bound capped linear peptide under conditions sufficient to effect macrocyclization of the linear peptide and release of the macrocyclic peptide from the catch resin.

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.
