Fluorogenic protein labeling helps to localize a protein within the cell in the presence of an excess amount of quenched probes. In their Communication on page 272 ff. , K. Kikuchi et al. propose an alternative fast approach for fluorogenic protein labeling. The fluorogenicity can be introduced by the removal of a photoinduced electron transfer‐based dynamic quencher. This strategy is more effective compared to the removal of a static aggregated quencher. The cover picture illustrates the better visibility of fireworks at the dynamic state (photo taken at the Hanabi festival in Japan; Sujata Kar Saha helped with cover design).
