Application

Thioflavin T has been used to identify the presence of amyloid fibrils in samples.[1]

General description

Thioflavin T is a benzothiazole dye that increases in fluorescence upon binding to amyloid.[2][3] Thioflavin T has been used in histology and for protein characterization.[4]

Thioflavin T is a benzothiazole dye that exhibits enhanced fluorescence upon binding to amyloid fibrils and is commonly used to diagnose amyloid fibrils, both ex vivo and in vitro. In aqueous solutions, thioflavin T was found to exist as micelles

We present a conceptually new reversible nanosensor regulated by a DNA nanoswitch. This system is not only responsive to external stimuli (e.g. ATP) but also can be reversibly switched between 'OFF' and 'ON' states via toehold mediated strand displacement reactions.

Intense efforts to detect, diagnose, and analyze the kinetic and structural properties of amyloid fibrils have generated a powerful toolkit of amyloid-specific molecular probes. Since its first description in 1959, the fluorescent dye Thioflavin-T (ThT) has become among the most
Extrinsic fluorescent dyes as tools for protein characterization.

The hydrophobic fragment of the Alzheimer's related β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide, Aβ(25-40), aggregates and forms insoluble amyloid fibrils at a rate similar to the full-length peptide. In order to gain insight into the fibrillization of Aβ(25-40) and the ability of the
