Cell‐permeable, biocompatible nanoparticles consisting of a positively charged polymer, which is conjugated to a near‐infrared (NIR) fluorochrome and a protein‐kinase‐specific peptide, and a negatively charged polymer constitute innovative probes for measuring protein kinase activity in living cells. Protein kinase activity selectively induces dissolution of the nanoparticles and is accompanied by a strong NIR fluorescence signal (see scheme).
