The fluorescence of sensors 1 and 6, which are designed in terms of photoinduced electron transfer (PET), is switched ‘on’ by factors of 15 and 6 with avidin in a rather selective manner. Sensors 3 and 7, simpler derivatives of 1, are switched ‘on’ by factors of 16 and 7.5 with bovine serum albumin, though at 30-fold higher concentrations.
