| Abstract | Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan found in the extracellular matrix and joints in the body. Elevated levels in the serum are associated with liver disease so detection at concentrations in the microgram per liter range is useful for monitoring cirrhosis progression. Conventional methods can measure HA in this range but they take several days and require multiple preparation steps. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) could be an alternative as it yields specific signatures stemming from molecular vibrations and has been shown to provide large enhancement factors. However, due to its intrinsic negative charge HA does not readily adsorb on metallic surfaces. To overcome this, a functionalized SERS substrate was developed to immobilize HA. A cysteamine self-assembling monolayer in the trans conformation allows the HA carboxyl group to attach to the ligand's amine group. The SERS signal can be used to monitor the concentration of cysteamine trans conformers in order to optimize HA attachment. In addition, SERS analysis shows an increase in HA Raman band intensity when immobilized to the substrate as compared to free HA on the substrate. Correlations between HA concentration and Raman band intensity are also discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
