Binding and toxicological insights into Direct Yellow 8 and bovine serum albumin: fluorescence quenching and cytotoxicity studies
Industrial dyes are ubiquitous in nature, making it essential to assess their toxicological effects on humans and animals. Azo dyes, due to their structural composition (azo linkages), are resistant to biodegradation. Direct Yellow 8 (DY8), a monoazo industrial dye, may exhibit carcinogenic properties; therefore, it...
