ABSTRACT:
The object of the present invention is to utilize, as a sensor protein, a molecular recognizing ability of a protein that scarcely undergoes any structural change by the binding of a target substance. According to the present invention, there is provided a sensor protein comprising an insert-type fusion protein composed of a reporter protein and a biding protein wherein said binding protein is inserted into the amino acid sequence of said reporter protein.
