Redox Biology with the inVia Confocal Raman Microscope

Raman spectroscopy is sensitive to the presence of haem proteins and is ideal for studying their redox biology, without the need for isolation or staining. The redox of haem proteins is closely linked to their protein functions - oxygen transport and storage, electron transport, and scavenging of free radicals. This application note demonstrates how Raman spectroscopy can be used to elucidate redox states within biological systems and allow researchers to study redox dynamics and its effects on health regulation and diseases.
