BTA-2
BTA-2, a benzothiazole dye, is structurally similar to thioflavin T (ThT), which exhibits an enhanced fluorescence signal when bound to amyloid fibrils. BTA-2 has distinct absorption and emission characteristics in solution and when bound to amyloid fibrils, which makes it can used for identifying amyloid fibrils using spectroscopy[1].
