This study employs Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to quantitatively analyze the distribution patterns and metabolic roles of alpha-solanine across different organs (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits) of Solanum nigrum. By extracting absorbance values from key characteristic peaks (2923 cm-1, 2853 cm-1, 1639 cm-1, 1152 cm-1, and 1072 cm-1) and applying a normalization ratio method for quantitative assessment, our results reveal that fruits serve as the primary accumulation site of alpha-solanine, followed by flowers and leaves, whereas the lowest concentrations are detected in roots and stems. Further analysis suggests that the high accumulation in fruits is likely associated with defensive functions and seed protection, while leaves and flowers function as the primary sites for alpha-solanine biosynthesis and signaling regulation, respectively. In contrast, roots and stems mainly facilitate transport and storage. This study highlights FTIR as a rapid, non-destructive technique for the quantitative analysis of plant secondary metabolites, demonstrating its potential in botanical research and biochemical profiling. Moreover, these findings provide valuable insights into the ecological roles of Solanaceae secondary metabolites and their potential applications in agriculture and pharmaceutical sciences.
In this paper, using magnetron sputtering technology, the 3D SERS substrates (Ag/OFW substrates) were prepared by depositing silver films on the wings of Odontotermes Formosanus (commonly known as flying ants). By optimizing the preparation conditions, it was found that the substrate possessed the best enhancement effect when the deposition time was 7.5 minutes. FDTD simulation was used to analyze Ag/OFW substrate's enhancement effect with different deposition times. The results demonstrated that the substrate with the sputtering time of 7.5 min showed stronger electric field distribution; that is to say, the substrate with the sputtering time of 7.5 min possessed the best enhancement effect. It was consistent with the results of using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a probe molecule to conduct an SERS study on the Ag/OFW substrates with different deposition times. The high-performance substrate exhibited a low detection limit (LOD) of 10(-9) mol.L-1 for R6G, indicating an excellent enhancement effect. When the Ag/OFW substrate was employed to solve critical pesticide residue problems for the detection of thiram, the detection concentration of thiram could reach 5.0X10(-8) mol.L-1, which exceeded the detection standard of thiram solution residue (4.16X10(-7) mol.L-1) established by China in 2021. Moreover, the detection method was expected to be used for the rapid detection of the residues of harmful substances.
According to a 2021 China CDC Weekly Express report,mushroom poisoning was one of China's most serious food safety issues.In 2021,a total of 327 mushroom poisoning incidents involving 923 patients and 20 deaths were investigated,and the overall mortality was 2.17%.About 74 poisonous mushrooms have been successfully identified.Boletuses are one of the people's favourite wild mushrooms because of their delicious taste.However,boletuses poisoning incidents can occur due to improper cooking or mixing with toxic boletuses.Quickly identifying variety and the main ingredients of boletus has become a problem that needs to be resolved immediately.Thus,tenfresh boletuses samples were purchased from the Chuxiong Hongfu market.The pileus was prepared by free-hand section,then the silver colloid area was prepared by using the silver colloid prepared by microwave.Under the DXR Laser confocal micro Raman spectrometer,the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)spectra of 10 samples were achieved.In these results,the main ingredients of samples 7,8 and 10 were the same,while samples 6 and 9 also shared the same main ingredients.However,the other samples had different ingredients compared to each other.As an example,in sample 1,the main ingredients were L-phenylalanine(1 583 cm-1 ring C—C stretching vibration and 1 199 cm1 NH2 rocking),L-histidine(1 572 cm-1 C=C stretching vibration COO-asymmetric stretching and 1 229 cm-1 in-plane ring deformation vibration),isoleucine(1 342 cm-1 C—H,N—H deformation vibration,486 cm-1 COOH rocking vibration and 353 cm-1 lattice vibration),L-aspartic acid(1 136 cm-1 C—N stretching vibration),glycine(1 386 cm-1 COO-deformation vibration and 889 cm-1 C—C stretching vibration),methionine(681 cm-1 C—S antisymmetric stretching vibration)and pyranose(973 cm-1 symmetric ring vibration)By applying the spectrum software OMNIC Specta and randomly selecting 10 lines to build the database of the sample spectra,the species of fresh boletuses could be identified quickly by measuring their spectra and matching them with the standard spectra in the database.In all samples,only samples 2 and 10 had relatively low matching rates,which were less than 60%.Furthermore,samples7 and 8 shared similar matching rates and cross terms with each other,which indicated they were of the same species.Samples 6 and 9 had similar matching rates but fewer cross terms,which indicated they were of the same or similar species.DNA test results showed that samples 7,8 and 10 were Boletus baingan,while samples 6 and 9 were Baorangia pseudocalopus.This experiment provides a simple and reliable method to detect the analysis of the main ingredients and rapidly identify Boletuses.Also,this approach has great potential for species identification of wild mushrooms.This experiment has great application value in quickly determining the poisonous wild mushroom species and gaining time to rescue the patient in the case of wild mushroom poisoning.To our knowledge,it is the first time SERS has been used on wild mushroom fruiting bodies.
偏振拉曼光谱能有效分析蜘蛛丝的蛋白质结构特征,早期的研究对象多为人工抽取的络新妇属蜘蛛的曳丝,而同为大壶状腺丝的骨架丝及其他科属的蛛丝却很少被研究报道.为探讨自然状态下蛛丝蛋白二级结构与力学性能之间的关系,使用偏振拉曼光谱对艾蛛属的黑腹艾蛛、希蛛属的翘腹希蛛的骨架丝进行研究.结果表明,这两种丝有着相似的氨基酸序列和结构,且β-折叠平行于丝的轴线,但翘腹希蛛丝其余大部分的二级结构却垂直于丝的轴线,这一特殊结构也导致翘腹希蛛丝的断裂伸长率(42.18±11.84%)高于黑腹艾蛛丝(23.85±5.18%).同时,从不同峰强比、方向不敏感光谱得出,翘腹希蛛丝β-折叠结构的取向度比黑腹艾蛛丝的高,但相近的β-折叠结构、络氨酸氢键含量导致两丝的断裂强度变化差异不显著.蛛丝拉曼光谱的重现性较好,可用于研究更多种类的蛛丝,为开发利用蛛丝提供依据.

Spider venom has high research value for use as an insecticide and drug, but its extraction is expensive and complicated. In this paper, Raman microspectroscopy was used to determine the secondary structure of the proteins, which are the active ingredients in venoms, and the venoms were obtained from eight spiders: Hippasa lycosina, Lycosa grahami, Lycosa wangi, Lycosa yunnanensis, Heteropoda venatoria, Psechrus ghecuanus, Macrothele yani and Macrothele yunnanica. The results indicate that venom glands are the preferred substitute for venom for research. Second, the eight glands have similar strongest Raman peaks, but there are partial differences in the weaker peaks and relative intensity ratios, and the differences can give a preliminary classification for the eight spiders. Third, Raman spectroscopy is an effective method with good repeatability and stability to study spider venom glands.(c) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to compare the five dendrobium species' infrared absorption spectra of stem powder. The stem of Dendrobium is rich in saccharides. The saccharides of Dendrobium Officinale, Dendrobium Paxt and Dendrobium wardianum Warner are complex in composition. And the sugar units are mainly galactopyranose, grape pyranose, mannopyranose, arabinopyranose and xypyranose. The sugar components in the stem of Dendrobium strongylanthum Rchb. f. were simple. The sugar units were galactopyranose, grape pyranose and mannopyranose. Dendrobium wardianum Warner had the same chemical structure as Dendrobium strongylanthum Rchb. Dendrobium Officinale had the same chemical structure as Dendrobium devonianum Paxt. The species of Dendrobium could be identified by the characteristic absorption peak of the polysaccharide fingerprint absorption region.
To analyze the protein conformation and mechanical properties of what types of spider silks, web frame silks from spiders of five different families, Parawixia dehaani ( P. dehaani), Herennia ornatissima ( H. ornatis-sima), Nephilengys malabarensis ( N. malabarensis), Hippasa lycosina ( H. lycosina) and Macrothele bannaensis ( M. bannaensis), were investigated by tensile testing, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The order of the fracture strength or breaking force ( H. ornatissima > N. malabarensis > P. dehaani, H. lycosina > M. bannaensis) is in accordance with the order of the Raman intensity ratios or crystallinity, the order of the extensibility ( H. ornatissima < N. malabarensis < P. dehaani) is inversely proportional to the order of the degree of orientation of the ,B-sheets, which verify the theory that mechanical properties of silk mainly depends on protein conformation. Meanwhile, the Raman spectra of the web frame silks from four Araneidae spiders (Gasteracantha diadesmia, Gasteracantha kuhli, Macracantha arcuata and P . dehaani) and two Tetragnathidae spiders (Leucauge tessellata and H . ornatissima) show that the slight spectral dif-ferences might enable preliminary identification and classification of spiders. We believe that researching either the relationship between or individual performance of the mechanical properties and structures of various types of spider silks would benefit the utilization of silks as biomaterials and the classification of spider silks.(c) 2022 The Authors.

Eleven cases of pleural mesothelioma and two cases of pleural normal tissue were detected using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The differences between pleural mesothelioma and normal pleural tissues identified by comparison of their respective Fourier transform infrared spectra were as follows: (1) a higher relative intensity of the protein amide I band at 1641 cm–1 for pleural mesothelioma compared to normal pleural tissues, a pointed peak of amide II band at l550 cm–1 for pleural mesothelioma, and a higher relative intensity compared to normal pleural tissues, all relating to increased protein content in pleural mesothelioma; (2) a symmetric stretch of the vibration band of phosphodiester bonds in the nucleic acid molecules of pleural mesothelioma towards the long 1240 cm–1 wave, and a higher relative intensity compared to normal pleural tissues, indicating increased nucleic acid content of the pleural mesothelioma; (3) a lower relative intensity of the absorption peak near 2854–2922 cm–1 in the pleural mesothelioma compared to normal pleural tissue, indicating reduced lipid content of the pleural mesothelioma; (4) a lower relative intensity of the absorption peak near 1047 cm–1 associated with soluble sugar content of the pleural mesothelioma compared to normal pleural tissues. Our results show that Fourier transforms infrared spectra exists differences between pleural mesothelioma and normal pleural tissues. It is expected to become a new method for rapid identification of pleural mesothelioma.
Taking glyphosatc pesticide sold in the market as test sample and capillary glass tube with Ag nanoparticles adsorbed on the inner wall as active substrate, the surface enhanced Raman spectra (SERSs) of the glyphosatc and its volatilcs in the air arc studied to explore a new method for determination of the pesticide residues using the pesticide volatiles. Using prepared Ag colloid substrates, the SERS detection is performed on commercially available glyphosatc pesticides with different concentrations, and the detection concentration of the glyphosatc can be as low as 1.8X 10(-6) mol/L Next the SERS of the volatiles of glyphosatc solutions with different concentrations arc studied by using the prepared capillary glass tube. When the glyphosatc solution is diluted to a concentration of 1.8 X 10(-6) mol/L, there is still a significant characteristic absorption peak of the glyphosatc, which indicates the detected concentration of the experimental method can reach 1. 8X 10(-6)mol/L (about 0.3 mg/kg). According to the National Food Safety Standard formulated in 2016, the maximum glyphosatc residue in fruits is 0.5 mg/kg. Compared with the national standard, the concentration of the glyphosatc pesticide residues in the detected water has basically reached the national maximum detection standard of pesticide residues. Therefore, this experimental method can be used as a scientific and effective method for the detection of glyphosatc pesticide residues and can provide a reference for detecting other pesticide residues.

Direct and label-free detection of unmodified DNA has always been a great challenge for DNA analyses. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can provide structural fingerprinting of analytes with single-molecules sensitivity, so it could be the best candidate for label-free detection of DNA. Wild mushrooms, a very nutritious and delicious food in our lives, are widely distributed in Yunnan province. Herein, a simple and reliable method, based on SERS, was developed for label-free detection of DNA from six wild mushrooms and three common edible mushrooms. Concentrated Ag colloid prepared by microwave heating method with high SERS activity was used to obtain high reproducible SERS spectra. SERS signatures and spectroscopic band assignments of these mushrooms DNA were analyzed. Principal component analysis was used to distinguish these nine mushrooms. This experiment provides a simple and reliable method to detect mushrooms DNA, which is useful for the study of mushrooms DNA. Also, this approach has great potential for species identification of wild mushrooms and provides a basis for learning the interaction between DNA and small molecules. To our best knowledge, it is the first SERS study on DNA from wild mushrooms.
