In situ construction of self-assemblies with unique property in living systems is a promising direction in the biomedical field. The noninvasive methods for significant enzyme activity in living cells or living subjects are imperative and meantime challenge tasks. The dynamic process of self-assembly of chlorophyll-based molecules in complex biological systems can be monitored by photoacoustic signals, which supports a noninvasive way to understand and quantitatively measure the activity of caspase-1. Furthermore, the activity of caspase-1 enables reflection of the bacterial infection in the early stage. Here, we present a biocompatible self-assembly from chlorophyll peptide derivatives and first correlate the dynamic equilibrium with ratiometric photoacoustic signals. The intracellular equilibrium was managed by a bacterial infection precaution protein, i.e., caspase-1. This system offers a trial of noninvasive method to quantitative detection and real-time monitoring of bacterial infection in the early stage.
