An activity-based fluorescent sensor with a penta-coordinate N-donor binding site detects Cu ions in living systems An activity-based sensor afforded a 63 times fluorescence-enhancement with Cu2+/Cu+ ions and could image Cu2+/Cu+ in living cells and in a multicellular organism. The sensor functioned only in the pre...
