The effect of five water-miscible organic solvents (tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, 2-propanol, and methanol) on the oxidation of pinacyanol chloride (Quinaldine Blue) by horse heart cytochrome c was determined. Hydrogen peroxide was used as the oxidant, and a change in catalytic

The acidic capsular polysaccharide isolated from Klebsiella K10 exhibited chromotropic character with respect to induction of metachromasy in the cationic dye pinacyanol chloride (1-ethyl-2-[3-(1-ethyl-2(1H)-quinolylidene)propenyl]quinolinium chloride). Klebsiella K10 polymer consists of hexasaccharide repeating units containing one residue of glucuronic acid along
