A new assay is developed for direct detection of DNA hybridization using triphenylmethane dye as a probe. It is based on various spectroscopic methods including resonance light scattering (RLS), circular dichroism (CD), ultraviolet spectra and fluorescence spectra, as well as atomic force microscopy (AFM), six triphenylmethane dyes interact with double strand DNA (dsDNA) and single strand DNA (ssDNA) were investigated, respectively. The interaction results in amplified resonance light scattering signals and enables the detection of hybridization without the need for labeling DNA. Mechanism investigations have shown that groove binding occurs between dsDNA and these triphenylmethane dyes, which depends on G-C sequences of dsDNA and the molecular volumes of triphenylmethane dyes. Our present approaches display the advantages of simple and fast, accurate and reliable, and the artificial samples were determined with satisfactory results.

Laccases are of particular interest in addressing environmental challenges, such as the degradation of triphenylmethane (TPM) dyes, including crystal violet (CV) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB), which are commonly used in SDS-PAGE for protein visualization. However, these dyes present significant environmental concerns due to their resistance to degradation, which makes their removal from industrial wastewater a major challenge. To address this, the current study investigates the potential of a novel CotA laccase derived from Bacillus sp.

As the third largest class of dyes in the world, triphenylmethane dyes are widely applied in colorimetric sensing. However, triphenylmethane dyes are commonly nonfluorescent, which limits their sensing applications. It is worthwhile to study the fluorescence off/on control of triphenylmethane dyes and promote the applications of triphenylmethane dyes in sensing technology.

Article Synopsis
- Dye wastewater pollution, particularly from aniline blue, is a significant environmental issue due to its toxic properties and difficulty in treatment.
- This study investigates the enzyme SDRz found in strain CT1, which effectively degrades aniline blue through specific enzymatic mechanisms and degradation pathways.
- Functional tests showed that SDRz is essential for this degradation, with the enzyme demonstrating substantial activity and efficiency in breaking down aniline blue into less harmful metabolites.

The degradation of synthetic dye wastewater is important for green chemistry and cost-effectiveness. In this study, we developed FeO@C-laccase (laccase immobilized on FeO@C nanoparticles) for photothermal degradation of high concentration of triphenylmethane dye wastewater. The FeO@C-laccase possessed superior pH and thermal stabilities, as well as excellent tolerance to organic solvents, inhibitors, and metal ions.

Triphenylmethyl-based compounds such as rhodamines and fluoresceine representing an old and well-known class of triphenylmethane dyes, are widely used in fluorescent labeling of bioimaging. Inspired by ultralong room temperature phosphorescence of triphenylphosphine derivatives, herein we report a methoxy substituted triarylmethanol ((4-methoxyphenyl)diphenylmethanol, LJW-1) exhibits ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) under ambient condition with afterglows of about 7 seconds. Its multiple C-H ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ π intermolecular interactions, C-H ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ O intermolecular interactions, hydrogen bond and π-π interactions are beneficial for forming rigid environment in the aggregated state which is evidently an important factor in the appearance of excellent RTP.
