Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectra of native and photobleached bovine rod outer segment disks as well as inside-out (inverted) photoreceptor disks adsorbed on silver hydrosol have been analyzed. Surface-enhanced spectra of inverted disks and disk-monoclonal antibody complexes reveal the short-range mechanism of enhancement. The distance between retinal Schiff base and the cytoplasmic side of native disk has been shown to be 5–10 Å.Keywords
