Nanoparticles provide significantly enhanced binding characteristics. However, fast online probing of the self‐assembly process remains hard to achieve in practice. Herein, we report a fluorescence coupled CE method for probing the self‐assembly events between quantum dots (QDs) and engineered Jumonji domain‐containing protein 6 (Jmjd6) enzyme. QDs and Jmjd6 were sequentially injected into the capillary, where the self‐assembly took place in a nanoliter scale. In particular, we showed that the Jmjd6/QD ratio, the interval time, and the injection volume had a great effect on the online self‐assembly. The current approach may allow for a better understanding of QDs–enzyme self‐assembly and enzymatic activity detection.
