Abstract
GO is a 2D nanomaterial that has attracted attention in many industries in recent years, such as the chemical industry, electronics or medicine. Due to its unique properties such as strength, hydrophilicity and large specific surface area with the possibility of functionalization, GO is a particularly attractive material in biomedicine as a candidate for use in targeted drug delivery. In such a case, we need information on whether graphene oxide penetrates into cells and whether we are able to detect and monitor GO in these cells during and also after the treatment to evaluate possible degradation process of GO and its interaction within the cell compartements. This work introduces the Raman spectroscopy as label-free detection method showing the advantages of combining Raman spectroscopy with MCR (Multivariate Curve Resolution) analysis for advanced detection of GO in cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. Our synthesized GO is characterized firstly by AFM, SEM and Raman spectroscopy and then MCR-Raman spectroscopy is used to detect internalized GO in individual HeLa cells. Moreover, by using our methodology, distribution of GO as well as its chemical stability inside the cell for up to six months is investigated without using any additional labeling or tracing the GO. Thus, MCR-Raman spectroscopy may become a new analytical tool in preclinical and clinical applications of graphene-based nanotheranostics.

Abstract
Glycosylation is considered a critical quality attribute of therapeutic proteins as it affects their stability, bioactivity, and safety. Hence, the development of analytical methods able to characterize the composition and structure of glycoproteins is crucial. Existing methods are time consuming, expensive, and require significant sample preparation, which can alter the robustness of the analyses. In this context, we developed a fast, direct, and simple drop-coating deposition Raman imaging (DCDR) method combined with multivariate curve resolution alternating least square (MCR-ALS) to analyze glycosylation in monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). A database of hyperspectral Raman imaging data of glycoproteins was built, and the glycoproteins were characterized by LC-FLR-MS as a reference method to determine the composition in glycans and monosaccharides. The DCDR method was used and allowed the separation of excipient and protein by forming a "coffee ring". MCR-ALS analysis was performed to visualize the distribution of the compounds in the drop and to extract the pure spectral components. Further, the strategy of SVD-truncation was used to select the number of components to resolve by MCR-ALS. Raman spectra were processed by support vector regression (SVR). SVR models showed good predictive performance in terms of RMSECV, R2CV.

Abstract
Confocal Raman Microspectroscopy (CRM) was employed to clarify the cellular response of cisplatin in osteosarcoma (OS) cells with different dosages and incubation times. The K7M2 mouse osteosarcoma cells were treated by cisplatin in 0 μM (UT group), 20 μM (20 T group), and 40 μM (40 T group) doses for 24-h (24H group) and 48-h (48H group), respectively. Raman spectroscopy was utilized to analyze the drug induced variations of intracellular biochemical components in osteosarcoma cells. The spectral results shows that the main changes in its biochemical composition come from nucleic acids. By adopting three different kernel functions (linear, polynomial, and Gaussian radial basis function (RBF)), principal component analysis combined with support vector machine models (PCA-SVM) was built to address the spectral variations among all investigated groups. Meanwhile, multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) was further utilized to discuss on the chemical interpretation on the acquired spectral results. Moreover, Raman spectral images, which is reconstructed by K-means cluster analysis (KCA) with point-scanned hyperspectral dataset, was applied to illustrate the drug induced compositional and morphological variations in each subcellular region. The achieved results not only prove the application potential of Raman based analytical technique in non-labeled intracellular studies, but also illustrate the detailed compositional and structural information of cisplatin induced OS cell responses from the perspective of multivariate analysis and imaging of Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
Raman imaging has transcended in recent times from being an analytical tool to a molecular profiling technique. Biomedical applications of this technique often rely on singular-value decomposition (SVD), principal component analysis (PCA), etc. for data analysis. These methods, however, obliterate the molecular information contained in the original Raman data leading to speculative interpretations based on relative intensities. In the present study, SVD analysis of the Raman images from Penicillium chrysogenum resulted in 11 spectral components and corresponding images with highly distorted spectral features and complex image contrast, respectively. To interpret the SVD results in molecular terms, we have developed a combined multivariate approach. By applying this methodology, we have successfully extracted the contribution of five biomolecular constituents of the P. chrysogenum filamentous cell to the SVD vectors. Molecular interpretability will help SVD/PCA surpass the realm of variance-based classification to a more meaningful molecular domain.

Abstract
Biocatalysis has rapidly become an essential tool in the scientific and industrial communities for the development of efficient, safe, and sustainable chemical syntheses. Immobilization of the biocatalyst, typically an engineered enzyme, offers significant advantages, including increased enzyme stability and control, resistance to environmental change, and enhanced reusability. Determination and optimization of the spatial and chemical distribution of immobilized enzymes are critical for proper functionality; however, analytical methods currently employed for doing so are frequently inadequate. Machine learning, in the form of multivariate curve resolution, with Raman hyperspectral imaging is presented herein as a potential method for investigating the spatial and chemical distribution of evolved pantothenate kinase immobilized onto two diverse, microporous resins. An exhaustive analysis indicates that this method can successfully resolve, both spatially and spectrally, all chemical species involved in enzyme immobilization, including the enzyme, both resins, and other key components. Quantitation of the spatial coverage of immobilized enzymes, a key parameter used for process development, was accomplished. Optimal analytical parameters were determined by the evaluation of different excitation wavelengths. Exploratory chemometric approaches, including principal component analysis, were utilized to investigate the chemical species embedded within the data sets and their relationships. The totality of this information can be utilized for an enhanced understanding of enzyme immobilization processes and can allow for the further implementation of biocatalysis within the scientific and pharmaceutical communities.

Abstract
Directed enzyme evolution has led to significant application of biocatalysis for improved chemical transformations throughout the scientific and industrial communities. Biocatalytic reactions utilizing evolved enzymes immobilized within microporous supports have realized unique advantages, including notably higher enzyme stability, higher enzyme load, enzyme reusability, and efficient product-enzyme separation. To date, limited analytical methodology is available to discern the spatial and chemical distribution of immobilized enzymes, in which techniques for surface visualization, enzyme stability, or activity are instead employed. New analytical tools to investigate enzyme immobilization are therefore needed. In this work, development, application, and evaluation of an analytical methodology to study enzyme immobilization is presented. Specifically, Raman hyperspectral imaging with principal component analysis, a multivariate method, is demonstrated for the first time to investigate evolved enzymes immobilized onto microporous supports for biocatalysis. Herein we demonstrate the ability to spatially and spectrally resolve evolved pantothenate kinase (PanK) immobilized onto two commercially-available, chemically-diverse porous resins. This analytical methodology is able to chemically distinguish evolved enzyme, resin, and chemical species pertinent to immobilization. As such, a new analytical approach to study immobilized biocatalysts is demonstrated, offering potential wide application for analysis of protein or biomolecule immobilization.

Abstract
We developed a hyperspectral imaging tool based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) probes to determine the expression level and visualize the distribution of PD-L1 in individual cells. Electron-microscopic analysis of PD-L1 antibody - gold nanorod conjugates demonstrated binding the cell surface and internalization into endosomal vesicles. Stimulation of cells with IFN-γ or metformin was used to confirm the ability of SERS probes to report treatment-induced changes. The multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) analysis of spectra provided a greater signal-noise ratio than single peak mapping. However, single peak mapping allowed a systematic subtraction of background and the removal of non-specific binding and endocytic SERS signals. The mean or maximum peak height in the cell or the mean peak height in the area of specific PD-L1 positive pixels was used to estimate the PD-L1 expression levels in single cells. The PD-L1 levels were significantly up-regulated by IFN-γ and inhibited by metformin in human lung cancer cells from the A549 cell line. In conclusion, the method of analyzing hyperspectral SERS imaging data together with systematic and comprehensive removal of non-specific signals allows SERS imaging to be a quantitative tool in the detection of the cancer biomarker, PD-L1.

Abstract
Multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) applied to hyperspectral Raman imaging is extensively used to spatially and spectrally resolve the individual, pure chemical species within complex, heterogeneous samples. A critical aspect of performing MCR-ALS with hyperspectral Raman imaging is the selection of the number of chemical components within the experimental data. Several methods have previously been proposed to determine the number of chemical components, but it remains a challenging task that if done incorrectly, can lead to the loss of chemical information. In this work, we show that the choice of 'optimal' number of factors in the MCR-ALS model may vary depending on the relative contribution of the targeted species to the overall spectral intensity. In a data set consisting of 27 hyperspectral Raman images of TiO2 polymorphs, it was observed that the more dominant species were best resolved with a parsimonious model. However, species with intensities near the noise level often needed more factors to be resolved than was predicted by standard methods. Based on the observations in this data set, we propose a new method that employs approximate reference spectra for determining optimal model complexity for identifying minor constituents with MCR-ALS.

Abstract
Outer space, the final frontier, is a hostile and unforgiving place for any form of life as we know it. The unique environment of space allows for a close simulation of Mars surface conditions that cannot be simulated as accurately on the Earth. For this experiment, we tested the resistance of Deinococcus radiodurans to survive exposure to simulated Mars-like conditions in low-Earth orbit for a prolonged period of time as part of the Biology and Mars experiment (BIOMEX) project. Special focus was placed on the integrity of the carotenoid deinoxanthin, which may serve as a potential biomarker to search for remnants of life on other planets. Survival was investigated by evaluating colony forming units, damage inflicted to the 16S rRNA gene by quantitative PCR, and the integrity and detectability of deinoxanthin by Raman spectroscopy. Exposure to space conditions had a strong detrimental effect on the survival of the strains and the 16S rRNA integrity, yet results show that deinoxanthin survives exposure to conditions as they prevail on Mars. Solar radiation is not only strongly detrimental to the survival and 16S rRNA integrity but also to the Raman signal of deinoxanthin. Samples not exposed to solar radiation showed only minuscule signs of deterioration. To test whether deinoxanthin is able to withstand the tested parameters without the protection of the cell, it was extracted from cell homogenate and exposed to high/low temperatures, vacuum, germicidal UV-C radiation, and simulated solar radiation. Results obtained by Raman investigations showed a strong resistance of deinoxanthin against outer space and Mars conditions, with the only exception of the exposure to simulated solar radiation. Therefore, deinoxanthin proved to be a suitable easily detectable biomarker for the search of Earth-like organic pigment-containing life on other planets.
