Detecting protein aggregation using AIEgens. (a) The multistep process of protein aggregation. (b) Examples of TPE-based AIEgens to detect protein aggregation. TPE-MI: tetraphenylethene maleimide. BSPOTPE: 1,2-bis[4-(3-sulfonatopropoxyl)phenyl]-1,2-diphenylethene salt. TPE-TPP: bis(triphenylphosphonium) tetraphenylethene. (c) a-synuclein aggregation monitored by TPE-TPP. (d) Structure of AggFluor probes. (e) Converting ACQ probes to AIEgens. (f) Ratiometric imaging of protein aggregation using NTPAN-MI. (d) was modified from Wolstenholme et al. [8]; (f) was modified from Owyong et al. [10].
