Abstract excerpt
Amyloids, proteinous aggregates with β-sheet-rich fibrils, are involved in several neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease; thus, their detection is critically important. The most common fluorescent dye for amyloid detection is thioflavin-T (ThT), which shows on/off fluorescence upon amyloid binding. We previously reported that an engineered globular protein with a flat β-sheet, peptide...
