We describe coumarin derivatives that are non-fluorescent in aqueous buffers and that very selectively bind to transthyretin (TTR) in complex biological environments potently inhibiting TTR amyloidogenesis while also exhibiting sensitive off-on fluorescent sensing of the properly folded quaternary structure of TTR.
我们描述了香豆素衍生物,它们在水性缓冲液中是非荧光的,但在复杂的生物环境中非常选择性地与转甲状腺素蛋白(TTR)结合,强烈抑制 TTR 淀粉样变性,同时还对 TTR 的正确折叠四级结构进行灵敏的开-关荧光感应。
