Resonance Raman spectroscopy is a technique that enhances Raman scattering intensity when the laser excitation frequency matches an electronic transition of the compound being examined. This resonance effect can greatly increase the intensity of Raman bands, facilitating the study of compounds present at low concentrations. The intensity is directly proportional to the energy difference between the laser and electronic transition. The theory of resonance Raman is complex as the normal polarizability theory fails under resonance conditions. It allows selective study of specific parts of molecules and is useful for problems in biology and complexes materials.

Bayesian modelling and computation for Raman spectroscopyMatt Moores
Raman spectroscopy can be used to identify molecules by the characteristic scattering of light from a laser. Each Raman-active dye label has a unique spectral signature, comprised by the locations and amplitudes of the peaks. The Raman spectrum is discretised into a multivariate observation that is highly collinear, hence it lends itself to a reduced-rank representation. We introduce a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm to separate this signal into a series of peaks plus a smoothly-varying baseline, corrupted by additive white noise. By incorporating this representation into a Bayesian functional regression, we can quantify the relationship between dye concentration and peak intensity. We also estimate the model evidence using SMC to investigate long-range dependence between peaks. These methods have been implemented as an R package, using RcppEigen and OpenMP.
Although the inelastic scattering of light was predicted by Adolf Smekal in 1923, it was not observed in practice until 1928. The Raman effect was named after one of its discoverers, the Indian scientist C. V. Raman, who observed the effect in organic liquids in 1928 together with K. S. Krishnan, and independently by Grigory Landsberg and Leonid Mandelstam in inorganic crystals. Raman won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for this discovery. The first observation of Raman spectra in gases was in 1929 by Franco Rasetti.
Raman Spectroscopy is a non destructive chemical analysis technique which provides detailed information about chemical structure, crystallinity and molecular interactions. The raman effect involves scattering of light by molecules of gases, liquids, or solids. Raman Spectroscopy is sensitive to homo-nuclear molecular bonds. It is able to distinguish between single, double, and triple bonds between carbon atoms.Raman spectroscopy is the study of matter by the inelastic scattering of monochromatic
light. It has become a ubiquitous tool in modern spectroscopy, biophysics, microscopy, geochemistry, and analytical chemistry. In contrast to typical absorption or emission spectroscopy experiments, transitions among quantum levels of atoms or molecules are induced by the absorption or emission of photons (IR, visible, UV). In a typical Raman experiment, a polarized monochromatic light source (usually a laser) is focused into a sample, and the scattered light at 90 degree
to the laser beam is collected and dispersed by a high-resolution monochromator. The incident laser wavelength (chosen such that
the sample does not absorb, in ordinary Raman Spectroscopy) is fixed, and the scattered light is
dispersed and detected to obtain the frequency spectrum of the scattered light. The scattered light is very weak
(<10-7 of the incident power), so that monochromators with excellent straylight rejection and sensitive detectors are required. In a much rarer event (approximately 1 in 10million photons)Raman scattering occurs, which is an inelastic scattering process with a transfer of energy between the molecule and scattered photon. If the molecule gains energy from the photon during the scattering (excited to a higher
vibrational level) then the scattered photon loses energy and its wavelength increases which is called Stokes Raman scattering . Inversely, if the molecule loses energy by relaxing to alower vibrational level the scattered photon gains thecorresponding energy and its wavelength decreases;
which is called Anti-Stokes Raman scattering. • Quantum mechanically Stokes and Anti-Stokes areequally likely processes. However, with an ensemble of molecules, the majority of molecules will be in the ground vibrational level (Boltzmann distribution) and Stokes scatter is the statistically more probable process. As a result, the Stokes Raman scatter is always more intense than the anti-Stokes and for this
reason, it is nearly always the Stokes Raman scatter that is measured in Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is used in chemistry to identify molecules and study chemical bonding and intramolecular bonds.In solid-state physics, Raman spectroscopy is used to characterize materials, measure temperature, and find the crystallographic orientation of a sample . In nanotechnology, a Raman microscope can be used to analyze nanowires to better understand their structures, and the radial breathing mode of carbon nanotubes is commonly used to evaluate their diameter.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
