Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange in Adenosine 5'-Monophosphate Detected by Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)

Abstract
The enhanced Raman effect from 5'-AMP adsorbed on the roughened silver surface is used to characterize hydrogen-deuterium exchange. SERS spectra of 5'-AMP present in H2O and D2O solutions at rather low concentrations were recorded in the spectral range of 2000 to 3500 cm-1. Surface enhanced Raman bands in this spectral range are found to increase in intensity, relative to bands of normal Raman solution spectra. In addition, one notes that the CH and CD stretching vibrations, almost obscured by H2O2 or D2O scattering, now stand out clearly.
