Comparative proteomics is widely used to detect protein changes, especially differential abundance proteins (DAPs) that are involved in plant responses to development, disease, or environment. Once DAPs are identified, it is essential to validate any change in their abundance, and their role in the biological process under study. In addition to common confirmation by quantitative RT‐PCR, immunoblot, and multiple reaction monitoring analysis, it has been proposed that enzyme activity assay (EAA) can be complementary to the standard proteomics results, especially regarding the elucidation of protein (enzyme) function and the mechanism of enzyme‐associated biochemical or metabolic pathways. The enzymes discussed here are the DAPs identified in comparative plant proteomics. Despite the small number of enzymes in a proteome, they often make up a substantial proportion of the DAPs identified in comparative studies. Currently, only a few studies have performed EAA to complement the interpretation of proteomic data, especially activity‐based protein profiling. This viewpoint aims to arouse the attention of proteomic researchers on the promising role of EAA in plant proteomics and highlights the need for high‐throughput assays of enzyme activities in comparative plant proteomics.
