Abstract (original English)
Raman spectroscopy has been proven to be a fast, convenient, and nondestructive technique for advancing our understanding of biological systems. The Raman effect originates from the inelastic scattering of light which directly probe vibration/rotational states in biological molecules and materials. Despite numerous advantages over infrared spectroscopy and continuous technical as well as operational improvement in Raman spectroscopy, an advanced development of the device and more applications have become possible. In this review, we explore the principles, techniques, and myriad applications of Raman spectroscopy in the realm of biology. We begin by providing an overview of Raman spectroscopy, highlighting its significance in unraveling the complexities of biological research. The focus of this review is on Raman spectroscopy concepts and methods, clarifying the fundamentals of Raman scattering and spectral interpretation. The review also highlights the key experimental considerations for productive biological applications. We explore the broad range of Raman applications including molecular structure, biomolecular composition, disease detection, and medication discovery. The Raman imaging and mapping can also be used to visualize biological samples at the molecular level. Raman spectroscopy is still developing, giving fresh insights and remedies, from biosensing to its use in
