Let there be light : Chemiluminescence provides a bright detection signal against a dark background and offers an excellent signal‐to‐noise ratio for analysis. Now, a chemiluminescent probe for cathepsin B has been developed that provides a 16,000‐fold improvement in sensitivity for detecting protease activity.
