Abstract
Enzymes are vital in most physiological and biochemical processes and may function as critical biomarkers of disease. Notably, many biological events and signaling networks involve multiplex enzyme species. Thus, mapping multiple enzyme activities is significant for elucidating enzymatic functions in life and disease. Here, we report a novel technology to map the catalytic efficacy of phosphatase and caspase in live cancer cells and in C. elegans by mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) imaging of nitrile chameleons. This technology will certainly bring new insight into the roles of enzyme in biochemical activities and explore new knowledge of enzymatic activity in health and disease.
