FRET sensors hardly achieve visualization of spatiotemporal dynamics of protein activity in vivo. Here the authors present intensiometric small GTPase biosensors based on dimerization-dependent fluorescent proteins that enable monitoring of activity of small GTPases in the brains of behaving mice at a single spine resolution.
