Monitoring the action of redox-directed cancer therapeutics using a human peroxiredoxin-2-based probe

Current sensors for intracellular H2O2 are not sensitive enough to detect all biologically relevant H2O2 fluctuations. Here the authors develop a peroxiredoxin-2-based FRET probe that is sensitive enough to measure changes in H2O2 concentration in response to the cancer therapeutic piperlongumine.
