Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from N-substituted 2, 4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) amino acids adsorbed on colloidal silver has been observed. SERS spectra of lV-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl)-substituted me-thionine, cystine, aspartic acid, and-lysine, taken with 488.0-nm excitation far from the electronic absorption band of the DNP group at 360 nm, were dominated by intense bands of the DNP group, which in normal Raman spectra showed a much greater scattering intensity than the amino acid alone. SERS spectra of the parent amino acids were used to establish binding of at least one carboxylate group to the silver surface. A rigorous resonance Raman spectrum of DNP-Met in aqueous solution with 386.4-nm excitation was used to make band assignments for the ortho and para nitro group stretching modes, yB (o-N02) and y8 (p-N02), at 1271 and 1330 cm'1, respectively. Both absolute and relative intensities of SERS bands changed with the total hapten concentration in the range 0.1-100 µ in the silver particle suspension. Lower limits on SERS enhancements were placed in the 103-104 range. Relative intensity changes in bands associated with p8 (o-N02), p8 (p-N02), and the DNP ring symmetrical breathing mode at 833 cm'1 were used mainly to monitor the conformationand orientationof the haptens on the silver surface. At high concentrations (10-100 µ) it is proposed that the DNP amino acids adopt a folded-over conformation to occupy less surface area per molecule. In this case the y8 (p-N02) band was intense, and the DNP ring is shown to lie end-on with respect to the surface. At low concentrations a more open or extended conformation is assumed. In this structure the DNP ring has two possible orientations, either flat or edge-on with respect to the surface. Relative SERS band intensity changes in the low (< 1 µ) and intermediate (1-10 µ) concentration ranges, which show either a complete loss of intensity in yB (p-N02), vs (o-N02), and firing breathing) or only intensity in the v8 (o-N02) band, support a flat orientation at low concentrations and an edge-on orientation at intermediate concentrations. Similar conclusions regarding orientation of the 5-(dimethylamino) naphthalene-l-sulfonyl (DANS) group in DANS-Asp on colloidal silver could be reached from the SERS spectrum of thishapten, whose fluorescence emission totally obscures its normal Raman spectrum in solution.
