• to detect various types of nucleic acids [34][35][36][37]. In this review we will focus on the visualization of specific transcript expression in the form of mRNA in whole mount specimen and tissue sections. ISH provides a powerful tool to map candidate transcripts from a transcriptome dataset to a

• –800 cm−1 (signals of nucleic acids of the bacterium), which unfortunately in this region overlapped with the spectrum of the Ab and of the functionalized titania. The peaks in the 1630–1697 cm−1 region are due to amide I bands of the proteins in the cell and to their secondary structure. In the region

• 1402–1457 cm−1, bands due to carbohydrates, glycoproteins, lipids and their characteristic C–O–H in-plane bending peaks and C(CH3)2 symmetric stretching were present. Finally, in the range 900–1100 cm−1, peaks due to the DNA/RNA backbone and phosphate groups of nucleic acids due to the symmetric and

[19] reviewed the use of MWCNTs to obtain enhanced signals in the detection of substances such as carbohydrates, nucleic acids, glucose, pesticides, and serotonin, with similar reports relating to trace metals [20] and nitroaromatic compounds [21].

• investigations on a single-molecule level [1]. Fluorescence in bioanalytics is mostly used for tracking intrinsic fluorophors (autofluorescence) or special fluorescence labels, which selectively bind to special cellular functional groups, such as proteins or nucleic acids [2][3]. However, the broad emission
