Fluorimetric study of interaction of merbromin with trypsin.

Interaction of merbromin with trypsin is of bovine origin has been studied by monitoring the absorption steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectral properties of the dye. Studies have been done in media of varying pH at different trypsin concentrations. It has been observed that trypsin brings about a quenching of fluorescence of the dye.

Spectroscopic study of association of a hemicyanine dye in mixed aqueous binary solvents.

Electronic absorption and steady state emission properties of a hemicyanine dye [4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-1-docosylpyridinium bromide], have been studied in several pure solvents and two mixed binary solvents (water+ethanol and water+acetonitrile). In pure solvents the band-width of the absorption spectrum correlates well with the Stoke's shift. In mixed aqueous solvents two different molecular forms of the solute, viz.

Absorption spectral band width of charge transfer transition of E(T)(30) dye in homogeneous and heterogeneous media.

Solvation characteristics in homogeneous and heterogeneous media have been probed by monitoring the band width of ICT band of 2,6-di-phenyl-4(2,4,6-triphenyl-1-pyridino) phenolate, the indicator solute for E(T)(30) scale, in pure, mixed binary solvents and aqueous micellar solution. Non-ideal solvation behaviour is observed in all the binary solvent mixtures. Index of preferential solvation has been calculated as a function of solvent composition.
