Donor, acceptor, and tuner : FRET‐based ratiometric live‐cell imaging captures emissions of two fluorophores within the constraints of a FRET pair. A method for engineering FRET‐circuit‐based biosensors has been developed by introducing an intermediate fluorophore, which facilitates energy transfer and allows tuning of the circuit efficiency. A protein kinase A biosensor was thus generated with a larger dynamic range than its precursors.
