Disclosed are compounds of formula (I) wherein D
1
is a first dye moiety whose fluorescence properties may be modulated so as to be suitable as a donor or an acceptor in an energy transfer arrangement; D
2
is a second dye moiety suitable as an acceptor or a donor in an energy transfer arrangement with said first dye; L is a linking group comprises 2-200 linked atoms, wherein said linking group optionally includes an enzyme cleavage site; and M is an enzyme cleavable group chosen to modulate the fluorescence properties of D
1
. The compounds of formula (I) may be used as reporter molecules for detecting biochemical cleavage events in assays that employ fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
