An optical nanoruler system based on a conjugated polyelectrolyte−silver nanoprism pair is developed for label‐free protein detection by taking advantage of the metal‐enhanced fluorescence effect of silver nanostructures. Antibody–antigen interactions induce a change in the metal–fluorophore distance, followed by the response of a fluorescent signal of the conjugated polyelectrolyte. The system is used to detect target antigens sensitively and selectively.
