To achieve an insightful look within biomolecular processes on the cellular level, the
development of diseases as well as the reliable detection of metabolites and pathogens, a …

In this review, we report the recent advances of SERS in fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Firstly,
we briefly introduce the advantage of SERS over fluorescence on virus identification and …

Label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can interrogate systems by
directly fingerprinting their components' unique physicochemical properties. In complex …

Excellent multiplexing capability, molecular specificity, high sensitivity and the potential of
resolving complex molecular level biological compositions augmented the diagnostic …

Specific guanine rich nucleic acid sequences can form non-canonical structures, like the
four stranded G-quadruplex (GQ). We studied the GQ-forming sequence (named HepB) …

Mammography, a standard screening method for breast cancer, is effective for reducing the
rate of death; however, it suffers from frequent false positive alarm and radiation risk …

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been successfully used for the label-
free detection of single-stranded oligonucleotides. However, the detection of complex DNA …

New monomethine, unsymmetrical styryl dyes consisting of benzothiazole and N-
methylpiperazine or N-phenylpiperazine scaffolds were synthesized, and their binding …

Metal ions are used in various situations in living organisms and as a part of functional
materials. Since the excessive intake of metal ions can cause health hazards and …

Intramolecular interactions are key factors for constructing the secondary conformations of
biomolecules and they are also vital for biomolecular functions. Their effect on the surface …
