Abstract

A novel concept of nonhydrolytic enzyme sensing based on aggregation-induced emission is described. As a proof of principle, fluorogenic probes for methionine sulfoxide reductases have been developed. Changes in the polarity and electronic nature upon reduction of sulfoxide to sulfide are translated to the aggregation potential of the probe. The new probes enable sensitive and highly spatially resolved imaging of the enzymatic activity.
