Scientists from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina recently tested a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy system for detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Using Thermostable Raman Interaction Profiling (TRIP) For Protein Binding Screening
March 1st 2024Narangerel Altangerel, Zhenhuan Yi, and Marlan Scully of Texas A&M University recently used TRIP to analyze eight protein–ligand systems. Spectroscopy recently spoke to these three researchers about their findings and what the implications are for high-throughput drug screening.
Reviewing the Impact of Raman Spectroscopy on Crop Quality Assessment: An Interview with Miri Park
February 1st 2024Miri Park of the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technologies is examining how Raman spectroscopy could aid non-destructive sensing in agricultural science. Recently, Park sat down with Spectroscopy to discuss micro-Raman spectroscopy's role in assessing crop quality, particularly secondary metabolites, across different contexts (in vitro, in vivo, and in situ), while suggesting future research for broader application possibilities.
