| Abstract: | Dependence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from Calf thymus DNA on anions is investigated.With the silver colloid,the bands at 732,960 and 1333 cm-1 for adenine (A),1466 cm-1 for deoxyribose,and 1652 cm-1 for the C=O group of thymine (T) are observably enhanced.With the presence of the Cl- or SO42- anions,the bands at 732 and 1326/1329 cm-1 for the symmetric stretching and skeletal vibrational modes of adenine (A) are dramatically enhanced,and the enhancement effect with the SO24- ion is more than that with the Cl- ion.The experimental results show that the DNA molecule can be adsorbed on the silver colloid particles through the C6N and N7 of adenine (A),the C=O of thymine (T) and deoxyribose.Moreover,the formed hydrogen bonding of the Cl- or S2O4- ions to the C6NH2 group of adenine (A) can induce larger C6N electronegativity,which is favor for the C6N/N7 cooperative adsorption on the (Ag) n colloid particles. |
