Table 1. Assignment of selected bands and regions in the Raman spectra of retina tissue

The assignment of the bands found in the Raman spectra of the outer layers of porcine retina, which comprise four predominant biochemical species: protein, nucleic acids, lipids and heme. The standard abbreviations for the nucleotides (A, G, U, and C) are used.
