LOW-FREQUENCY PHONON RAMAN SPECTRA OF NUCLEIC ACID CONSTITUENTS: PURINE BASES

 

Summary

 

    Low-frequency (10 cm-1 < v < 200 cm -1) Raman spectra of polycrystalline adenine and guanine at 300 K have been studied in detail. Lattice vibration bands are identified. The conclusions about the structural properties of the investigated substances are drawn after the consideration of theoretical and experimental data including those obtained in this work. Possible applications of the obtained results in the field of biophysics are discussed.
