Abstract
Grasslands play an important role in conserving natural biodiversity and providing ecosystem functions and services for societies. Soil fertility is an important property in grassland, and the monitoring of soil fertility can provide crucial information to optimize ecosystem productivity and sustainability. Testing various soil physiochemical properties related to fertility usually relies on traditional measures, such as destructive sampling, pre-test treatments, labor-intensive procedures, and costly laboratory measurements, which are often difficult to perform. However, soil enzyme activity reflecting the intensity of soil biochemical reactions is a reliable indicator of soil properties and thus enzyme assays could be an efficient alternative to evaluate soil fertility. Here, we review the latest research on the features and functions of enzymes catalyzing the biochemical processes that convert organic materials to available plant nutrients, increase soil carbon and nutrient cycling, and enhance microbial activities to improve soil fertility. We focus on the complex relationships among soil enzyme activities and functions, microbial biomass, physiochemical properties, and soil/crop management practices. We highlight the biochemistry of enzymes and the rationale for using enzyme activities to indicate soil fertility. Finally, we discuss the limits and disadvantages of the potential new molecular tool and provide suggestions to improve the reliability and feasibility of the proposed alternative.

Abstract
The high sensitivity and functional group selectivity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) make it an attractive method for enzyme sensing, but there is currently a severe lack of enzyme substrates that release SERS reporter molecules with favorable detection properties. We find that 2-mercaptopyridine-3-carbonitrile ( o-MPN) and 2-mercaptopyridine-5-carbonitrile ( p-MPN) are highly effective as SERS reporter molecules that can be captured by silver or gold nanoparticles to give intense SERS spectra, each with a distinctive nitrile peak at 2230 cm-1. p-MPN is a more sensitive reporter and can be detected at low nanomolar concentrations. An assay validation study synthesized two novel substrate molecules, Glc-o-MPN and Glc-p-MPN, and showed that they can be cleaved efficiently by β-glucosidase (K m = 228 and 162 μM, respectively), an enzyme with broad industrial and biomedical utility. Moreover, SERS detection of the released reporters ( o-MPN or p-MPN) enabled sensing of β-glucosidase activity and β-glucosidase inhibition. Comparative experiments using a crude almond flour extract showed that the presence of β-glucosidase activity could be confirmed by SERS detection in a much shorter time period (>10 time shorter) than by UV-vis absorption detection. It is likely that a wide range of enzyme assays and diagnostic tests can be developed using 2-mercaptopyridine-carbonitriles as SERS reporter molecules.

Abstract
In recent years, ensuring the rational use and effective control of antibiotics has been a major focus in the eco-environment, which requires an effective monitoring method. However, on-site rapid detection of antibiotics in water environments remains a challenging issue. In this study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was used to systematically achieve selective, rapid, and highly sensitive detection of sulfonamides, based on their fingerprint characteristics. The results show that the trade-off between the competitive and coadsorption behaviors of target molecules and agglomerates (inorganic salts) on the surface of the SERS substrate determines whether the molecules can be detected with high sensitivity. Based on this, the qualitative differentiation and quantitative detection of three structurally similar antibiotics, sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine, and sulfamethazine, were achieved, with the lowest detectable concentration being 1 μg/L for sulfadiazine and 50 μg/L for sulfamerazine and sulfamethazine.

Abstract
We demonstrate the remarkable ability of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to track the allosteric changes in restriction endonuclease KpnI (R.KpnI) caused by metal ions. R.KpnI binds and promiscuously cleaves DNA upon activation by Mg2+ ions. However, the divalent ion Ca2+ induces high fidelity cleavage, which can be overcome by higher concentrations of Mg2+ ions. In the absence of any 3D crystal structure, for the first time, we have elucidated the structural underpinnings of such a differential effect of divalent ions on the endonuclease activity. A combined SERS and molecular dynamics (MD) approach showed that Ca2+ ion activates an enzymatic switch in the active site, which is responsible for the high fidelity activity of the enzyme. Thus, SERS in combination with MD simulations provides a powerful tool for probing the link between the structure and activity of enzyme molecules that play vital roles in DNA transactions.

Abstract
We have developed a novel method for the synthesis of benzotriazolyl alkyl esters (BAEs) from N-acylbenzotriazoles and dichloromethane (DCM) under mild conditions. This reaction is one of few examples to show the use of DCM as a C-1 surrogate in carbon-heteroatom bond formation and to highlight the versatility of using DCM as a methylene building block.

Abstract
Human monoamine oxidases (MAOs) play important roles in maintaining the homeostasis of biogenic amines. One of its isoforms, monoamine oxidase B (MAOB), is thought to be involved in several neurodegenerative diseases, which make the selective detection of MAOB activity essential. In this work, a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor was fabricated and the MAOB activity was specifically determined by detecting the SERS signals of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction product via an amine-aldehyde click reaction. This process was simply achieved by coating core-shell gold-silver nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) on 3-aminopropyl aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES)-modified glass, and then, a monolayer of cysteamine (CA) was attached to the nanoparticle surface as a linker through Ag-S bonds. Using phenethylamine (PA) as a specific substrate of MAOB, the enzyme product phenylacetaldehyde (PAA) will produce significant Raman signals via the amine-aldehyde click reaction with CA, while other molecules, such as MAOB and PA, have no signal output because they cannot form close interaction with nanoparticles due to the existence of a CA layer. This sensor was further used for the specific determination of MAOB activity in clinical blood samples and the MAOB inhibitor assessment successfully. Meanwhile, by changing the click reaction types and taking advantage of the SERS fingerprint peaks for the specific click reaction products, this strategy offers huge potential to detect multiple enzyme activities simultaneously and can be used for new click reaction screening, enzyme-related disease diagnosis, drug screening, and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Enzyme assays are important for many applications including clinical diagnostics, functional proteomics, and drug discovery. Current methods for enzymatic activity measurement often suffer from low analytical sensitivity. We developed an ultrasensitive method for the detection of enzymatic activity using Single Molecule Arrays (eSimoa). The eSimoa assay is accomplished by conjugating substrates to paramagnetic beads and measuring the conversion of substrates to products using single molecule analysis. We demonstrated the eSimoa method for the detection of protein kinases, telomerase, histone H3 methyltransferase SET7/9, and polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase with unprecedented sensitivity. In addition, we tested enzyme inhibition and performed theoretical calculations for the binding of inhibitor to its target enzyme and show the need for an ultrasensitive enzymatic assay to evaluate the potency of tight binding inhibitors. The eSimoa assay was successfully used to determine inhibition constants of both bosutinib and dasatinib. Due to the ultrasensitivity of this method, we also were able to measure the kinase activities at the single cell level. We show that the eSimoa assay is a simple, fast, and highly sensitive approach, which can be easily extended to detect a variety of other enzymes, providing a promising platform for enzyme-related fundamental research and inhibitor screening.

Abstract
The characteristic vibrational spectroscopic fingerprint of Raman reporter molecules adsorbed on noble metal nanoparticles is employed for the identification of target proteins by the corresponding surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotag-labeled antibodies. Here, we present the modular synthesis of thiolated polyenes with two to five C═C double bonds introduced via stepwise Wittig reactions. The experimental characterization of their electronic and vibrational properties is complemented by density functional theory calculations. Highly SERS-active nanotags are generated by using the thiolated polyenes as Raman reporter molecules in Au/Au core/satellite supraparticles with multiple hot spots. The cytokines IL-1β and IFN-γ are detected in a duplex SERS-based lateral flow assay on a nitrocellulose test strip by Raman microscopy. The thiolated polyenes are suitable for use in immuno-SERS applications such as point-of-care testing as well as cellular and tissue imaging.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate measurement of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity is important in the food industry as PPOs play a vital role in catalyzing enzymatic reactions. The aim of this study was to develop surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) approach for accurate determination of PPO activity in fruit and vegetables using the reduction in SERS intensity of catechol in reaction medium. Within a certain catechol concentration, when a purified PPO solution was analyzed, the reduction in SERS intensity (Δ I) was linear to PPO activity ( Ec) in a wide range of 500-50 000 U/L, and a linear regression equation of log Δ I/Δ t = 0.6223 log Ec + 0.8072, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9689 and a limit of detection of 224.65 U/L, was obtained. The method was used for detecting PPO activity in apple and potato samples, and the results were compared with those obtained from colorimetric assay, which demonstrated that the proposed method could be successfully used for detecting PPO activity in food samples.

Abstract
A biodegradation facilitator which catalyzes the initial steps of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) oxidation was prepared by immobilizing multiple enzymes (monooxygenase, CphC-I and dioxygenase, CphA-I) onto a natural inorganic support. The enzymes were obtained via overexpression and purification after cloning the corresponding genes (cphC-I and cphA-I) from Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6. Then, the recombinant CphC-I was immobilized onto fulvic acid-activated montmorillonite. The immobilization yield was 60%, and the high enzyme activity (82.6%) was retained after immobilization. Kinetic analysis indicated that the Michaelis-Menten model parameters for the immobilized CphC-I were similar to those for the free enzyme. The enzyme stability was markedly enhanced after immobilization. The immobilized enzyme exhibited a high level of activity even after repetitive use (84.7%) and powdering (65.8%). 4-CP was sequentially oxidized by a multiple enzyme complex, comprising the immobilized CphC-I and CphA-I, via the hydroquinone pathway: oxidative transformation of 4-CP to hydroxyquinol followed by ring fission of hydroxyquinol.

Abstract
Many studies have shown that it is important to consider the harmful effects of phenolic hormones on the human body. Traditional UV detection has many limitations, so there is a need to develop new detection methods. We demonstrated a simple and rapid surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) based detection method of trace amounts of phenolic estrogen. As a result of the coupling reaction, there is the formation of strong SERRS activity of azo compound. Therefore, the detection limits are as low as 0.2 × 10-4 for estrone (E1), estriol (E3), and bisphenol A (BPA). This method is universal because each SERRS fingerprint of the azo dyes a specific hormone. The use of this method is applicable for the testing of phenolic hormones through coupling reactions, and the investigation of other phenolic molecules. Therefore, this new method can be used for efficient detection.

Abstract
The activity of extracellular protein kinase A (PKA) is known to be a biomarker for cancer. However, conventional PKA assays based on colorimetric, radioactive, and fluorometric techniques suffer from intensive labeling-related preparations, background interference, photobleaching, and safety concerns. While surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based assays have been developed for various enzymes to address these limitations, their use in probing PKA activity is limited due to subtle changes in the Raman spectrum with phosphorylation. Here, we developed a robust colloidal SERS-based scheme for label-free quantitative measurement of PKA activity using gold nanostars (AuNS) as a SERS substrate functionalized with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-kemptide (Kem) bioconjugate (AuNS-BSA-Kem), where BSA conferred colloidal stability and Kem is a high-affinity peptide substrate for PKA. By performing principle component analysis (PCA) on the SERS spectrum, we identified two Raman peaks at 725 and 1395 cm-1, whose ratiometric intensity change provided a quantitative measure of Kem phosphorylation by PKA in vitro and allowed us to distinguish MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells known to overexpress extracellular PKA catalytic subunits from noncancerous human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) based on their PKA activity in cell culture supernatant. The outcome demonstrated potential application of AuNS-BSA-Kem as a SERS probe for cancer screening based on PKA activity.

Abstract
Nanophotonics, and more specifically plasmonics, provides a rich toolbox for biomolecular sensing, since the engineered metasurfaces can enhance light-matter interactions to unprecedented levels. So far, biosensing associated with high-quality factor plasmonic resonances has almost exclusively relied on detection of spectral shifts and their associated intensity changes. However, the phase response of the plasmonic resonances have rarely been exploited, mainly because this requires a more sophisticated optical arrangement. Here we present a new phase-sensitive platform for high-throughput and label-free biosensing enhanced by plasmonics. It employs specifically designed Au nanohole arrays and a large field-of-view interferometric lens-free imaging reader operating in a collinear optical path configuration. This unique combination allows the detection of atomically thin (angstrom-level) topographical features over large areas, enabling simultaneous reading of thousands of microarray elements. As the plasmonic chips are fabricated using scalable techniques and the imaging reader is built with low-cost off-the-shelf consumer electronic and optical components, the proposed platform is ideal for point-of-care ultrasensitive biomarker detection from small sample volumes. Our research opens new horizons for on-site disease diagnostics and remote health monitoring.

Abstract
In vitro biosensors have been an integral component for early diagnosis of cancer in the clinic. Among them, no-wash biosensors, which only depend on the simple mixing of the signal generating probes and the sample solution without additional washing and separation steps, have been found to be particularly attractive. The outstanding advantages of facile, convenient, and rapid response of no-wash biosensors are especially suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT). One fast-growing field of no-wash biosensor design involves the usage of nanomaterials as signal amplification carriers or direct signal generating elements. The analytical capacity of no-wash biosensors with respect to sensitivity or limit of detection, specificity, stability, and multiplexing detection capacity is largely improved because of their large surface area, excellent optical, electrical, catalytic, and magnetic properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various nanomaterial-enhanced no-wash biosensing technologies and focuses on the analysis of the underlying mechanism of these technologies applied for the early detection of cancer biomarkers ranging from small molecules to proteins, and even whole cancerous cells. Representative examples are selected to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for in vitro diagnostics of cancer. Finally, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and a perspective outlook on the field are provided.

Abstract
Since its discovery in 1974, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has gained momentum as an important tool in analytical chemistry. SERS is used widely for analysis of biological samples, ranging from in vitro cell culture models, to ex vivo tissue and blood samples, and direct in vivo application. New insights have been gained into biochemistry, with an emphasis on biomolecule detection, from small molecules such as glucose and amino acids to larger biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. These measurements have increased our understanding of biological systems, and significantly, they have improved diagnostic capabilities. SERS probes display unique advantages in their detection sensitivity and multiplexing capability. We highlight key considerations that are required when performing bioanalytical SERS measurements, including sample preparation, probe selection, instrumental configuration, and data analysis. Some of the key bioanalytical measurements enabled by SERS probes with application to in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo biological environments are discussed.

Abstract
Green procedure for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is currently considered due to its economy and toxic-free effects. Several existing works on synthesizing AgNPs using leaves extract still involve the use of physical or mechanical treatment such as heating or stirring, which consume a lot of energy. To extend and explore the green extraction philosophy, we report here the synthesis and antibacterial evaluations of a purely green procedure to synthesize AgNPs using Carica papaya, Manihot esculenta, and Morinda citrifolia leaves extract without the aforementioned additional treatment. The produced AgNPs were characterized using the ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and antibacterial investigations. For antibacterial tests, two bacteria namely Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus were selected. The presently employed method has successfully produced spherical AgNPs having sizes ranging from 9 to 69 nm, with plasmonic characteristics ranging from 356 to 485 nm, and energy-dispersive X-ray peak at approximately 3 keV. In addition, the smallest particles can be produced when Manihot esculenta leaves extract was applied. Moreover, this study also confirmed that both the leaves and synthesized AgNPs exhibit the antibacterial capability, depending on their concentration and the bacteria type.

Abstract
For enzyme-catalysed biotransformations, continuous in situ detection methods minimise the need for sample manipulation, ultimately leading to more accurate real-time kinetic determinations of substrate(s) and product(s). We have established for the first time an on-line, real-time quantitative approach to monitor simultaneously multiple biotransformations based on UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy. To exemplify the generality and versatility of this approach, multiple substrates and enzyme systems were used involving nitrile hydratase (NHase) and xanthine oxidase (XO), both of which are of industrial and biological significance, and incorporate multistep enzymatic conversions. Multivariate data analysis of the UVRR spectra, involving multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS), was employed to effect absolute quantification of substrate(s) and product(s); repeated benchmarking of UVRR combined with MCR-ALS by HPLC confirmed excellent reproducibility.

Not only are peptides and plasmonic hotspots similarly sized, Raman fingerprints also hold large potential for spectral multiplexing. Here, we use a gold-nanodome platform for real-time detection of trypsin activity on a CALNNYGGGGVRGNF substrate peptide. First, we investigate the spectral changes upon cleavage through the SERS signal of liquid-chromatography separated products. Next, we show that similar patterns are detected upon digesting surface-bound peptides. We demonstrate that the relative intensity of the fingerprints from aromatic amino acids before and after the cleavage site provides a robust figure of merit for the turnover rate. The presented method offers a generic approach for measuring protease activity, which is illustrated by developing an analogous substrate for endoproteinase Glu-C.

Abstract
Immunochromatographic sensors (ICSs) are inexpensive, simple, portable, and robust, thus making ICSs commonplace in clinical diagnoses, food testing, and environmental monitoring. However, commonly used gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) ICSs have low sensitivity. Therefore, we developed highly sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) ICSs. To enhance the sensitivity of SERS ICSs, rough surface core-shell Au@Ag nanoparticles (RSAu@AgNPs) were prepared by coating silver on the surface of gold nanoflowers (AuNFs). Then these nanoparticles were used as SERS substrate in the SERS ICSs, after which the SERS ICSs were implemented to detect haemoglobin and heavy metal cadmium ion (Cd(2+)). The limit of detection (LOD) of the SERS ICSs for detecting haemoglobin was 8 ng/mL, and the linear range of the SERS ICSs was from 31.3 to 2000 ng/mL. The LOD of the SERS ICSs for detecting Cd(2+) was 0.05 ng/mL and the linear analysis range was from 0.05 to 25 ng/mL. The cross reactivity of the SERS ICSs was studied and results showed that the SERS ICSs exhibited highly specific for detection of haemoglobin and Cd(2+), respectively. The SERS ICSs were then used to detect haemoglobin (spiked in serum and in stool) and Cd(2+) (spiked in tap water, river water, and soil leaching water), and the results showed high recovery. These characteristics indicated that SERS ICSs were ideal tools for clinical diagnosis and environmental pollution monitoring.

Abstract
The emergence of synthetic glycoconjugates as chemical probes for the detection of glycosidase enzymes has resulted in the development of a range of useful chemical tools with applications in glycobiology, biotechnology, medical and industrial research. Critical to the function of these probes is the preparation of substrates containing a glycosidic linkage that when activated by a specific enzyme or group of enzymes, irreversibly releases a reporter molecule that can be detected. Starting from the earliest examples of colourimetric probes, increasingly sensitive and sophisticated substrates have been reported. In this review we present an overview of the recent advances in this field, covering an array of strategies including chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates, lanthanide complexes, gels and nanoparticles. The applications of these substrates for the detection of various glycosidases and the scope and limitations for each approach are discussed.

Abstract
The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of cancer patients is crucial for early cancer diagnosis, cancer prognosis, evaluation of the treatment effect of chemotherapy drugs, and choice of cancer treatment options. In this study, we propose new surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles for the direct detection of CTCs in the blood. Under the optimized experimental conditions, our SERS nanoparticles exhibit satisfying performances for the direct detection of cancer cells in the rabbit blood. A good linear relationship is obtained between the SERS intensity and the concentration of cancer cells in the range of 5-500 cells/mL (R(2) = 0.9935), which demonstrates that the SERS nanoparticles can be used for the quantitative analysis of cancer cells in the blood and the limit of detection is 5 cells/mL, which is lowest compared with the reported values. The SERS nanoparticles also have an excellent specificity for the detection of cancer cells in the rabbit blood. The above results reinforce that our SERS nanoparticles can be used for the direct detection of CTCs in the blood with excellent specificity and high sensitivity.

Abstract
Halophilic archaea are interesting microorganisms that produce low biomass and metabolites, complicating their quantification. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful technique, which requires small samples, attractive for using in archaeal research. The objective of this work was the estimation of bacterioruberin content along with Haloarcula marismortui growth and their correlation with biomass concentration. RS was used to detect characteristic bands of bacterioruberin (vibrational modes C═CH, C─C, and C═C) in H. marismortui culture samples. The intensity of Raman spectra in bacterioruberin and the biomass concentration were adequately correlated. The highest production of bacterioruberin occurred at 60 h. RS is revealed as a reliable technique for the estimation of bacterioruberin in the biomass of H. marismortui, which could be considered as a promising qualitative and quantitative technique to assay metabolites in cell cultures.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis is a surface phenomenon. Yet, though the catalysis itself takes place on surfaces, the reactants and products rapidly take the form of another physical state, as either a liquid or a gas. Catalytic reactions within a self‐assembled monolayer are confined within two dimensions, as the molecules involved do not leave the surface. Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy is an ideal technique to probe these self‐assembled monolayers as it gives molecular information in a measured volume limited to the surface. We show how surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy can be used to determine the reaction kinetics of a two‐dimensional reaction. As a proof of principle, we study the photocatalytic reduction of p‐nitrothiophenol. A study of the reaction rate and dilution effects leads to the conclusion that a dimerization must take place as one of the reaction steps.

Abstract
We demonstrate the utility of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to monitor conformational transitions in protein upon ligand binding. The changes in protein's secondary and tertiary structures were monitored using amide and aliphatic/aromatic side chain vibrations. Changes in these bands are suggestive of the stabilization of the secondary and tertiary structure of transcription activator protein C in the presence of Mg(2+) ion, whereas the spectral fingerprint remained unaltered in the case of a mutant protein, defective in Mg(2+) binding. The importance of the acidic residues in Mg(2+) binding, which triggers an overall allosteric transition in the protein, is visualized in the molecular model. The present study thus opens up avenues toward the application of SERS as a potential tool for gaining structural insights into the changes occurring during conformational transitions in proteins.

Abstract
Nanohybrids consisting of silver nanoparticles (Ag), clay platelets, and a nonionic surfactant were prepared and used as the substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The nanoscale silicate platelets (SP) (with dimensions of 100 × 100 nm(2) and a thickness of ∼1 nm) were previously prepared from exfoliation of the natural layered silicates. The tricomponent nanohybrids, Ag-SP-surfactant (Ag-SP-S), were prepared by in situ reduction of AgNO3 in the presence of clay and the surfactant. The clay platelets with a large surface area and ionic charge (ca. 18 000 sodium ions per platelet) allowed for the stabilization of Ag nanoparticles in the range of 10-30 nm in diameter. With the addition of a nonionic surfactant such as poly(oxyethylene) alkyl ether, the tricomponent Ag-SP-S nanohybrids possessed an altered affinity for contacting microorganisms. The particle size and interparticle gaps between neighboring Ag on SP were characterized by TEM. The surface tension of Ag-SP and Ag-SP-S in water implied different interactions between Ag and hydrophobic bacteria ( Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium smegmatis ). By increasing the surfactant content in Ag-SP-S, the SERS peak intensity was dramatically enhanced compared to the Ag-SP counterpart. The nanohybrids, Ag-SP and Ag-SP-S, with the advantages of varying hydrophobic affinity, floating in medium, and 3D hot-junction enhancement could be tailored for use as SERS substrates. The selective detection of hydrophobic microorganisms and larger biological cells makes SERS a possible rapid, label-free, and culture-free method of biodetection.

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an optical spectroscopy amenable to this goal, as it is capable of extremely sensitive biomolecule detection and multiplexed analysis. This perspective highlights where SERS has been successfully used to detect target biomolecules, specifically DNA and proteins, and where in vivo analysis has been successfully utilised. The future of SERS development is discussed and emphasis is placed on the steps required to transport this novel technique from the research laboratory to a clinical setting for medical diagnostics.

Abstract
Among the different posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that significantly regulate the protein function, lysine acetylation has become the major focus, especially to understand the epigenetic role of the acetyltransferases, in cellular physiology. Furthermore, dysfunction of these acetyltransferases is well documented under pathophysiological conditions. Therefore, it is important to understand the dynamic structure-function relationship of acetyltransferases in a relatively less complicated and faster method, which could be efficiently exploited to design and synthesis of small molecule modulators (activators/inhibitors) of these enzymes for in vivo functional analysis and therapeutic purposes. We have developed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method, for acetyltransferases towards this goal. By employing SERS, we have not only demonstrated the autoacetylation induced structural changes of p300 enzyme but also could use this technique to characterize and design potent, specific inhibitors as well as activators of the p300. In this chapter we shall describe the methods in detail which could be highly useful for other classes of HATs and PTM enzymes.
