What the tool is doing

Chemigenetic biosensors are hybrid fluorescent biosensors that combine synthetic fluorophores with genetically encoded sensing units for imaging in living cells.

Source 1DOI PubMed

Resources required

These designs require a synthetic fluorophore component and a genetically encoded sensing unit, and are used with functional microscopy.

Source 1DOI PubMed

What problem it solves

They aim to improve optical performance while retaining sensing specificity and sensitivity, and can broaden the analyte space that biosensors can access.
