The present invention relates to bioluminescence resonance energy transfer sensor molecules having the structure R
1
-L-R
2
—B or B—R
2
-L-R
1
, wherein R
1
is a bioluminescent protein, L is a linking element, R
2
is a non-protein acceptor domain and B is a blocking group, and wherein R
2
bound to B comprises a hydrolysable bond which produces a change in BRET when hydrolysed. The invention also discloses a method of detecting a hydrolase by contacting a sample with a molecule B—R
2
, then contacting with a compound R
1
-L or L-R
1
under conditions to cause attaching of R
2
to L, and detecting a change in the BRET ratio. Specifically exemplified sensors comprise luciferase and fluorescein diacetate, which is hydrolysed by an esterase. The invention also discloses luciferase enzymes derived from RLuc8 by removing cysteine residues.
