Area of Science:

  • Biophysical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Label-free detection of nucleic acids is crucial for molecular diagnostics.
  • Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) offers high sensitivity for molecular fingerprinting.
  • Distinguishing individual RNA bases in complex mixtures remains challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish conditions for label-free Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) detection of individual RNA bases.
  • To quantitatively analyze mixtures of non-hybridized single-stranded RNA.
  • To develop a deconvolution method for SERS spectra of RNA base mixtures.

Main Methods:

  • Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) was employed.
  • Specific conditions were optimized to probe the four RNA bases: adenosine, uridine, cytosine, and guanosine.
  • Quantitative analysis of RNA base mixtures was performed using spectral deconvolution.

Main Results:

  • SERS conditions were successfully defined to detect label-free single-stranded RNA bases (polyadenosine, polyuridine, polycytosine, polyguanosine).
  • A quantitative analysis method was developed based on deconvolution of SERS mixture spectra.
  • The relative contributions of individual RNA bases within mixtures were successfully determined.

Conclusions:

  • Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy is a viable technique for label-free, quantitative detection of individual RNA bases.
  • The developed deconvolution method allows for the analysis of complex single-stranded RNA mixtures.
  • This approach has potential applications in molecular diagnostics and RNA research.
