Our group has recently developed a new class of molecular sensors, termed ‘combinatorial fluorescent molecular sensors’, which mimic the function of cross-reactive sensor arrays (the so-called chemical “noses/tongues”).&lt;span style="font-size:10.8333px; line-height:17.3333px"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In this talk I will explain how these fingerprint-generating probes can be used to analyze small populations of proteins in complex mixtures and within live cells. In addition, I will show how secret messages can be concealed within the emission spectra of these unimolecular fluorescent probes.
