Bile salt induced solubilization of methylene blue: Study on methylene blue fluorescence properties and molecular mechanics calculation

Methylene blue (MB) is a hydrophobic drug molecule, having importance both as a staining reagent and pharmaceutical agent. MB is strongly fluorescent, with an emission peak at 686 nm (λex 665 nm). In the study, the possibility of MB as an extrinsic fluorophore to study the micellization behavior of...
