Locally activated semisynthetic fluorescent biosensors for imaging cellular biochemistry by Coïs, Justine, Dumat, Blaise

“…Fluorogenic semisynthetic biosensors that are fluorescent only upon local activation by reaction with a genetically encoded self-labeling protein tag provide an additional level of selectivity, allowing wash-free imaging experiments. This minireview focuses on the latter class of hybrid sensors and provides an outlook on the different small molecular probe design strategies and self-labeling protein tag combinations (mostly SNAP-tag and HaloTag) for their construction. …”
