Abstract Biaryl dendritic micelles have been used for generating fluorescence response patterns that are used for sensing metalloproteins. By varying the generation of the dendrimer and the encapsulated dye molecules, the differential receptors for four different metalloproteins have been created. The pattern obtained from these dendritic micelles indeed confirms that the combination of dendrimer generation and electronic energy levels of the fluorescent transducers can be used for generating analyte‐specific patterns.
