The detection of specific sequences of DNA bases in a single strand can be achieved by hybridization of a known sequence of synthetic DNA. Due to the low concentrations usually used, a fluorescent label is required to detect the probe. Surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) also has the

β¦ Synopsis
The interactions of doxorubicin and its derivatives, hydroxyrubicin and adriamycinone, with DNA were studied by resonance Raman (RR) and surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) spectroscopy. The p-p interaction between the chromophore of the drug and DNA base pairs has been shown to downshift the skeletal stretching mode Γ 1440 cm 01 by 8, 5, and 4 cm 01 for doxorubicin, hydroxyrubicin, and adriamycinone, respectively. The additional effects of intercalation with DNA on the RR and SERRS spectra for hydroxyrubicin are similar to those for doxorubicin. However, different effects are observed for adriamycinone. These results indicate that the sugar moiety is necessary to maintain the maximum van der Waals contact between the chromophore and the DNA base pairs and that the amine group in the amino sugar is more favored than the hydroxyl group.
