We report a fluorescence probe 1, which contains a naphthalimide fluorophore with two symmetric peptidic arms equipped with a tailor-made anion-binding motif, the guanidiniocarbonyl pyrrole moiety, for the detection of nucleoside triphosphates. Upon binding to nucleoside triphosphates, especially ATP, 1 shows significant turn-on fluorescence response. Probe 1 can also be applied for the imaging of ATP in cells.
