An artificial protein-probe hybrid, Cm–Np-B@BSA, was prepared via host–guest interactions between hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-responsive Cm–Np-B molecule and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The Cm–Np-B@BSA probe exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards H2O2 under physiological conditions and had excellent biocompatibility, allowing for sensitive ratiometric detection and imaging of endogenous H2O2 in live cells.
