We report a novel nanostructured chemosensing ensemble PyNp-C13/UD, obtained by self-assembling uranine dye (UD) and an amphiphilic pyridinium salt PyNp-C13. The ensemble was developed for the fluorescence turn-on sensing of ATP in aqueous solutions and inside living cells. The assembly operates via an indicator displacement assay (IDA) method with an ultra-low detection limit of 6.8 nM.
