Lactate is an energy substrate and an intercellular signal, which can be monitored in intact cells with the genetically encoded FRET indicator Laconic. However, the structural complexity, need for sophisticated equipment, and relatively small fluorescent change limit the use of FRET indicators for subcellular targeting and development of high-throughput screening methodologies. Using the bacterial periplasmic binding protein TTHA0766 from
