ABSTRACT

FIGURE 16.1 The structure of dansyl chloride, dansyl tryptophan, and thio avin T. Thio avin T is used for the staining of amyloid brils (see Hawe, A., Sutter, M., and Jiskoot, W., Extrinsic uorescent dyes as tools for protein characterization, Pharmaceut. Res. 35, 1487-1499, 2008; Chen, R.F., Fluorescence of dansyl amino acids in organic solvents and protein solutions, Arch. Biochem.
