Surface‐enhanced Raman spectra of native and photobleached bovine rod outer segment disks as well as inside‐out (inverted) photoreceptor disks adsorbed on silver hydrosol have been analyzed. Surface‐enhanced spectra of inverted disks and disk‐monoclonal antibody complexes reveal the short‐range mechanism of enhancement. The distance between retinal Schiff base and the cytoplasmic side of native disk has been shown to be 5–10 Å.
