Abstract

environment-sensitive fluorophores fluorescent probes non-enzymatic proteins protein detection protein modifications
Bind and shine: An approach for the selective detection of both enzymes and non-enzymatic proteins using an environment-sensitive fluorescent turn-on probe is described (see scheme). This approach targets the hydrophobic ligand-binding domain of the target protein to trigger the fluorescence turn-on and was shown to be specific for the targeted protein.
