Methylene Blue (MB) can interact with the guanine base of single strand DNA and absorbed onto glass surface and its absorbance can be determined at λmax of MB. Increase in methylene blue absorbance was linear with an increase in MB concentration and can be viewed by the naked eye and detected by spectrophotometric method. The linear range of the developed biosensor for determination of MB was from 10 to 100 nmol L-1 with a detection limit of 4 nmol L-1. The fabricated spectrophotometric MB biosensor possessed excellent selectivity and good sensitivity.}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Nano Dimension (Int. J.
