Graphical Abstract

Wenn das Licht ausgeht: Ein Kupfer- Biosensor wurde durch gentechnischen Ersatz von L-Tyrosin in grün fluoreszierendem Protein durch die chelatisierende nichtkanonische Aminosäure L-DOPA hergestellt (siehe Bild). Die spezifische Bindung von Cu2+ durch das modifizierte Protein war reversibel und führte zu einer mit dem Cu2+-Gehalt skalierenden Fluoreszenzlöschung. EDTA=Ethylendiamintetraessigsäure.
