The interrogation of enzyme activity involves the ensemble averaging of many cells, loss of spatial relationships and is often biased to abundant proteins. Here the authors develop activity-dependent proximity ligation to quantify enzyme activity at the cellular and sub-cellular level in relevant biological contexts.
