Synthetic energy sensor AMPfret deciphers adenylate-dependent AMPK activation mechanism

AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK senses and regulates cellular energy state. Here the authors engineer a synthetic sensor, AMPfret, that allows direct, real-time readout of the AMPK conformational state by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).
