Conjugated polyelectrolyte-based fluorescence assays for caspases, phosphatases, and proteases: We have developed conjugated polyelectrolyte-based fluorescence assays for caspase 3 and 8, phosphatases, and proteases. Such simple, convenient, and sensitive methods can be generalized to other similar targets for further application in disease diagnosis and evaluation.
