Zusammenfassung:Substrates are provided that include compounds suitable for detecting the activity of an enzyme such as a lysosomal storage enzyme where the substrates include: a sugar moiety; a linker moiety allowing the conjugation of sugar moiety with the remaining structure of the substrate; and two or more fatty acid chains or derivatives thereof at least one of which is sufficiently structured to provide improved solubility in aqueous or organic solvent systems. Also provided are methods for using substrates for detecting enzymatic activity using the inventive substrates.
