Biochem/physiol Actions

Pinacyanol chloride (1, 1-diethyl-2, 2-carbocyanine chloride), also known as quinaldine blue or PIN, belongs to the class of symmetric trimethinecyanine dyes. It is widely used as a histological stain. Pinacyanol chloride is used in the study of bacterial polysaccharides. Pinacyanol chloride exposure induces respiratory immunogenicity. PIN has two absorption maximums at 605nm and 550nm, which are known asα and β bands respectively.

Multi-layer graphene oxide-enzyme nanoassemblies were prepared through the multi-point covalent immobilization of laccase from Trametes versicolor (TvL) on functionalized graphene oxide (fGO). The catalytic properties of the fGO-TvL nanoassemblies were found to depend on the number of the graphene oxide-enzyme

Interaction of pinacyanol chloride (PIN) with pure and binary mixtures of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) was spectroscopically studied. Interaction of PIN with pure NaDC produced a blue shifted metachromatic band (at approximately 502 nm), which gradually shifted
