We investigated two-dimensional lipid bilayers by spectroscopic imaging with surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). A DSPC lipid bilayer incubated on a glass substrate was coated with a thin layer of silver. Due to the strong electromagnetic enhancement of the silver film and the affinity to lipid molecules, the Raman spectrum of a single bilayer was obtained in a 1 s exposure time with 0.1 mW of incident laser power. In the C-H vibrational region of the spectra, which is sensitive to bilayer configurations, a randomly stacked area was dominated by the CH3 asymmetric-stretch mode, whereas flat areas including double bilayers showed typical SERS spectra. The spectral features of the randomly stacked area are explained by the existence of many free lipid molecules, which is supported by DFT calculations of paired DSPC molecules. Our method can be applied to reveal the local crystallinity of single lipid bilayers, which is difficult to assess by conventional Raman imaging.
