In this paper we describe a method for the determination of protein concentration using Surface Enhanced Raman Resonance Scattering (SERRS) immunoassays. We use two different Raman active linkers, 4-aminothiophenol and 6-mercaptopurine, to bind to a high sensitivity SERS substrate and investigate the influence of varying concentrations of p53 and EGFR on the Raman spectra. Perturbations in the spectra are due to the influence of protein-antibody binding on Raman linker molecules and are attributed to small changes in localised mechanical stress, which are enhanced by SERRS. These influences are greatest for peaks due to the C-S functional group and the Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) was found to be inversely proportional to protein concentration.
在本文中,我们描述了一种使用表面增强拉曼共振散射(SERRS)免疫测定法测定蛋白质浓度的方法。我们使用两种不同的拉曼活性连接体,4-氨基硫酚和6-巯基嘌呤,将其与高灵敏度表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)底物结合,并研究不同浓度的p53和表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)对拉曼光谱的影响。光谱中的扰动是由于蛋白质-抗体结合对拉曼连接体分子的影响,并且归因于局部机械应力的微小变化,这种变化通过SERRS得到增强。对于归因于C-S官能团的峰,这些影响最为显著,并且发现半高宽(FWHM)与蛋白质浓度成反比。
