Allergic diseases are closely related to degranulation and release of histamine and difficult to diagnose because non-allergic diseases also exhibit the same clinical symptoms as allergy. Here, we report direct, rapid, and ultrasensitive detection of histamine using low-frequency molecular torsion Raman spectroscopy. We show that the low-frequency (<200 cm) Raman spectral intensities are stronger by one order of magnitude than those of the high-frequency Raman ones. Density functional theory calculation and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy identify the strong spectral feature to be from torsions of carbon-carbon single bonds, which produce large variations of the polarizability densities in the imidazole ring and ethyl amino side chain. Using an omniphobic substrate and surface plasmonic effect of Au@SiO nanoparticles, the detection limit (signal-noise ratio >3) of histamine reaches 10 g/L in water and 10 g/L in serum. This scheme thus opens new lines of inquiry regarding the clinical diagnosis of allergic diseases.
过敏性疾病与组胺的脱颗粒和释放密切相关,且难以诊断,因为非过敏性疾病也会表现出与过敏相同的临床症状。在此,我们报告了使用低频分子扭转拉曼光谱对组胺进行直接、快速且超灵敏的检测。我们发现低频(<200 cm)拉曼光谱强度比高频拉曼光谱强度强一个数量级。密度泛函理论计算和核磁共振光谱确定该强光谱特征来自碳 - 碳单键的扭转,这在咪唑环和乙氨基侧链中产生了极化率密度的大变化。利用疏液性底物和Au@SiO纳米颗粒的表面等离子体效应,组胺在水中的检测限(信噪比>3)达到10 g/L,在血清中为10 g/L。因此,该方案为过敏性疾病的临床诊断开辟了新的研究方向。
