Powerful ratiometric sensor : The caspase–cascade system plays a vital role in intracellular apoptotic signals associated with various human diseases. A single EGFP‐based (EGFP, enhanced green fluorescent protein) caspase‐3 sensor was successfully developed to track the activation and inhibition of caspase‐3 in living cells in real time with a high sensitivity and enzymatic selectivity in a ratiometric measurement mode.
