Single molecule Raman detection of enkephalin on silver colloidal particles

Enkephalin, an endogeneous substance in the human brain showing morphine‒like biological functions, has been detected at the single molecule level based on the surface‒enhanced Raman signal of the ring breathing mode of phenylalanine, which is one building block of the molecule. For enhancing the Ra...
