Chemical compound
Thioflavins are fluorescent dyes that are available as at least two compounds, namely Thioflavin T and Thioflavin S. Both are used for histology staining and biophysical studies of protein aggregation.[1] In particular, these dyes have been used since 1989 to investigate amyloid formation.[2] They are also used in biophysical studies of the electrophysiology of bacteria.[3] Thioflavins are corrosive, irritant, and acutely toxic, causing serious eye damage.[4] Thioflavin T has been used in research into Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
