Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is a versatile non-destructive analytical technique that involves minimal sample preparation to assess the biomolecular compositions from a wide range of biological samples, making it a powerful adjunct tool in multiomics. However, getting the precise quantitative information about these biomolecules is still challenging. In this review, we discuss the theoretical aspects, experimentation strategy, and applications of Raman spectroscopy combined with stable isotopes of bioessential elements such as carbon-13, hydrogen-2 (deuterium), nitrogen-15, and oxygen-18 for multiomics. This technology has been termed as Raman stable isotope probing (Raman SIP) and can be used for the detection and mapping of biomolecules, distribution of biomolecules, and tracking biological pathways in action. This review covers a wide variety of applications of the Raman SIP method highlighting Raman peaks specific to biomolecules probed with different isotopes. We have also covered the current technical limitations and future perspectives of this approach in biomolecule detection and monitoring, and the possibility of addressing it in the future. This review will also take readers' interests to the possible unexplored domains of Raman SIP for broader adoptions in the chemical biology, and analytical biochemistry fields.
