Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has been applied to investigate the interaction with a silver colloidal surface of following seven 6-14 fragments of bombesin (BN) C-terminus: cyclo[D-Phe(6),His(7),Leu(14)]BN(6-14), [D-Phe(6),Leu-NHEt(13),des-Met(14)]BN(6-14), [D-Phe(6),Leu(13)-(R)-p-chloro-Phe(14)]BN(6-14), [D-Phe(6),beta-Ala(11),Phe(13),Nle(14)]BN(6-14), [D-Tyr(6),beta-Ala(11),Phe(13),Nle(14)]BN(6-14), [D-Tyr(6),beta-Phe(11),Phe(13),Nle(14)OH]BN(6-14), and [D-Cys(6),Asn(7),D-Ala(11),Cys(14)]BN(6-14), potent r-GRP-R receptor antagonists used in chemotherapy and potential effective drugs in cancer treatment. The adsorption active sites and molecular orientations on the colloidal silver surface have been determined on the basis of SERS "surface selection rules" subsequent to a detailed SERS analysis. In addition, the similarities and differences of these spectra with the SERS spectra of the peptides immobilized on a roughened silver electrode surface have been examined. From the data, suggestion has been made about structural properties of these peptides on the colloidal surface.
