A chemigenetic fluorescence lifetime-based biosensor for imaging of ERK activity

Elias Dressler, Rohan Eapen, Dennis Pellanda, Yixin Zhang, Jérôme Julmi, Musadiq Ahmad Bhat, Tommaso Patriarchi, Darren T. Gilmour, Michelle S. Frei

This paper introduces a chemigenetic biosensor, WHaloEKAR, that reports ERK activity through fluorescence lifetime changes, enabling spatially resolved and multiplexed measurements in cultured cells and live animals.
