Single-Molecule Monitoring of Nucleic Acid Dynamics Using Raman Correlation Spectroscopy in Plasmonic Nanowells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Label-free monitoring of single molecules by single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SM-SERS) in plasmonic nanopores can track the molecular dynamics and gain insight into its internal mechanism for applications including catalysis and sequencing. However, challenges including unstable plasmonic hot spot, fast molecule movement, and citrate interference hinder the SM-SERS data analysis and biomedical applications. In this study, we report a new SM-SERS method by sticking a single gold nanoparticle in a gold nanowell in air to generate a fixed plasmonic gap-mode hot spot on the particle surface for continuous single-molecule readout and long-term monitoring of DNA diffusion. The unlimited resident time of the DNA in the hot spot revealed unidirectional and back-and-forth diffusion patterns of different DNAs at single-base resolution depending on their sequences as well as cooccupation of the hot spot by citrate and DNA. Significantly, the spatial resolution of the hot spot was found to be able to cover 2 neighboring nucleobases, 1 sugar-phosphate backbone in the DNA, and 1 citrate. By using Raman correlation spectroscopy, the diffusion times of nucleobases in the DNAs were calculated as 5-22 s depending on molecular structures, while those of citrate were 0.1-7 s. Our results were so promising for monitoring biomolecular dynamics that they could be used to investigate oligonucleotide hybridization kinetics and may set the basis for developing SM-SERS sequencing technologies.
