TL;DR: Thioflavin X, (ThX), a next-generation fluorescent probe which displays superior properties; including a 5-fold increase in brightness and 7-fold increased in binding affinity to amyloidogenic proteins, is designed.

TL;DR: Four highly sensitive bifunctional fluorescent probes, capable of H2O2 and/or amyloid aggregate detection, are created and results indicate these new probes will be useful to detect and monitor neurodegenerative disease.

TL;DR: Thioflavin X, (ThX), a next-generation fluorescent probe which displays superior properties and can be used to study unique structural amyloid features both in bulk and on a single-aggregate level, is designed and used as a super-resolution imaging probe in single-molecule localisation microscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a conceptual approach to cooperative α-allylation of aryl acetic acid esters, where enantioselection is determined by the nucleophile, which constitutes a potentially general solution to direct catalytic asymmetric α-functionalization of acyclic esters.
