Abstract:
Tau protein aggregation into neurofibrillary tangles often causes tauopathies. Herein, we report fluorene based sensors with fluorogenicity upon binding to tau proteins. Intriguingly, these sensors possess triplet state properties to inhibit tau fibrillation upon photo-induced crosslinking.
