Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) characterisation of abasic sites in DNA duplexes

Abstract

In this study, direct surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is used as an exquisite nano-optical tool for ultrasensitive structural characterisation of abasic sites in DNA. In addition, the conformational discrimination (intra- vs. extra-helical) of the nucleobase opposite to the abasic site was also achieved.
