摘要

Ceramidases are key regulators of cell fate. The biochemistry of different ceramidases and of their substrate ceramide appears to be complex, mainly due to specific biophysical characteristics at the water-membrane interface. In the present study, we describe the design and synthesis of a set of fluorescently labeled ceramides as substrates for acid and neutral ceramidases. For the first time we have replaced the commonly used polar NBD- ...
