The application of Raman spectroscopy for the identification and characterization of minerals and related materials has increased appreciably during recent years. Raman spectroscopy has proven to be a most valuable and versatile analytical tool. Successful applications cover virtually all the mineralogical sub-disciplines, and have become more numerous in geochemistry. We present a general summary of present applications, illustrated by selected examples. In addition, we briefly point out several aspects of spectral acquisition, data reduction, and interpretation of Raman results that are important for the application of Raman spectroscopy as a reliable analytical tool.

Primary and secondary tumour cells exhibit biochemical differences (with Raman spectroscopy and imaging), and mechanical differences (with atomic force microscopy).

New advances in protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) have revealed a complex layer of regulatory mechanisms through which PTMs control cell signaling and metabolic pathways, contributing to the diverse metabolic phenotypes found in cancer. Using conformational templates and the three-dimensional (3D) environment investigation of proteins in patients with colorectal cancer, it was demonstrated that most PTMs (phosphorylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination) are localized in the supersecondary structures (helical pairs). We showed that such helical pairs are represented on the outer surface of protein molecules and characterized by a largely accessible area for the surrounding solvent. Most promising and meaningful modifications were observed on the surface of vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP), complement C4-A (CO4A), X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 6 (XRCC6), Plasma protease C1 inhibitor (IC1), and albumin (ALBU), which are related to colorectal cancer developing. Based on the presented data, we propose the impact of the observed modifications in immune response, inflammatory reaction, regulation of cell migration, and promotion of tumor growth. Here, we suggest a computational approach in which high-throughput analysis for identification and characterization of PTM signature, associated with cancer metabolic reprograming, can be improved to prognostic value and bring a new strategy to the targeted therapy.
