It is possible to tune gold nanoparticles with peptides for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in such a way as to side step the problematic stages inherent to other approaches to nanoplasmonic structures for analyte detection, according to Italian researchers.

This review focuses on the prerequisites for the efficient coupling of light to the tip as well as the shortcomings and pitfalls that have to be considered for tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy imaging, for its application to nanoscale analysis.
