This paper describes an application of attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy (SEIRA) to characterize the selective adsorption of four peptides present in body fluids such as neuromedin B (NMB), bombesin (BN), neurotensin (NT), and bradykinin (BK), which are known as markers for various human carcinomas. To perform a reliable analysis of the SERIA spectra of these peptides, curve fitting of these spectra in the spectral region above 1500 cm –1 and SEIRA measurements of sulfur-containing and aromatic amino acids were performed. On the basis of the analyses of the spectral profiles, specific conclusions were drawn regarding specific molecule–metal interactions and changes in the interaction during the substrate change from the surface of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
