Raman study and DFT calculations of amino acids

Sonois V., Estève A., Zwick A., Faller P., Bacsa W., CEMES CNRS Univ Toulouse, FR

Previously we reported intense and narrow vibrational Raman bands of the amino acid histidine grown from droplets of aqueous histidine on silica (Sonois et al., 2007, Chem. Phys. Lett., 439, 360-363). In the present communication [...]

Vibrational spectroscopy of nanoscale needle shaped histamine

Sonois V., Faller P., Bacsa W.S., Fazouan N., Estève A., University Paul Sabatier, FR

Amino acids in aqueous solutions have low Raman signals and are difficult to detect at low concentrations. To increase Raman signals one often uses UV excitation. We find that nano-needels can be grown from droplets [...]
