title: Live-cell fluorescent biosensors for activated signaling proteins.
abstract: A new generation of live-cell fluorescent biosensors enables us to go beyond visualization of protein movements, to quantify the dynamics of many different protein activities. Alternate approaches can report post-translational modifications, ligand interactions and conformational changes, revealing how the location and subtle timing of protein activity controls cell behavior.
