The presence of amyloid fibrils was confirmed by confocal microscopy using a gold nanostructured substrate in order to increase image contrast, as well as by fluorescence spectroscopy with the amyloid-sensitive dye thioflavin T. The obtained structures were characterized, spectral markers of fibril formation were determined. It was shown that fibrillar structures are most effectively formed at high protein concentrations at acidic pH and at low protein concentrations and alkaline pH. It was shown that 2D-WS2 nanoparticles have different effects on the secondary structure depending on the pH of the solution and the concentration of the protein. WS2 can both inhibit and stimulate amyloid formation under various external conditions. It is shown that 2D-WS2 nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes can be used to obtain hybrid structures with specified properties in materials science. Spectroscopic techniques can be used to diagnose diseases associated with the formation of amyloid fibrils.
