Biological sensors are fundamental to current research, from quantifying metabolites under different perturbations to identifying cell states. Many types of sensors exist with a variety of readouts, with one of the most widely used platforms being fluorescent sensors. Fluorescent sensor molecules for imaging cellular molecules have become a hot topic in chemical biology research during the last two decades. A fluorescent sensor is advantageous due to its high sensitivity.
