| Zusammenfassung: | In this study, we demonstrate that 2-microm-sized Ag (microAg) powders can be used as a core material for constructing molecular sensing/recognition units operating via surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). This is possible because microAg powders are very efficient substrates for both the infrared and Raman-spectroscopic characterization of molecular adsorbates prepared in a similar manner on silver surfaces; we can obtain an infrared spectrum of organic molecules adsorbed on microAg particles with a very high signal-to-noise ratio by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT), and the Raman spectrum of organic monolayers on powdered silver is an SERS spectrum. The agglomeration of microAg particles in a highly concentrated buffer solution could be prevented by the layer-by-layer deposition of cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes such as poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). In fact, prior to depositing PAA and PAH, 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) was assembled on the surfaces of the microAg particles as SERS markers. Because of the presence of amine groups of 4-ABT, PAA could be readily deposited on the microAg particles. On the other hand, the outermost PAA layer could also be derivatized with biotin-derivatized poly(L-lysine). The nonspecific interaction of poly(L-lysine) with proteins could be suppressed by grafting poly(ethylene glycol) into the biotin-derivatized poly(L-lysine) molecules. On the basis of the nature of the SERS peaks of 4-ABT, it was confirmed that these biotinylated microAg powders were effective in selectively recognizing the streptavidin arrays. Because a number of different molecules can be used as SERS-marker molecules, such as probable 4-ABT, commercially available microAg powders must be a prospective material in molecular sensing/recognition, particularly via SERS |
