A pair of fluorescent indicator-tagged DNA-duplex scaffolds permit assessments of nitric oxide (NO) production on cell surfaces and in intracellular networks. The application of these nanoprobes indicates formations of local NO signals that might conserve cancer cell integrity.The developing toolkit of continuous directed evolution
