Schematic representation of FQ-based probe with chemically deactivatable quencher. First, enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrate turns on the fluorescence in FQ probes enabling protease activity to be detected. Next, treatment with an appropriate chemical reagent deactivates the quencher thus allowing detection of inactivated probes.88
