Abstract
The individual and collective structure and properties of biomolecules can change dramatically when they are localized at an interface. However, the small spatial extent of interfacial regions poses challenges to the detailed characterization of multiscale processes that dictate the structure and function of large biological units such as peptides, proteins, or nucleic acids. This Perspective surveys a broad set of tools that provide new opportunities to probe complex, dynamic interfaces across the vast range of temporal regimes that connect molecular-scale events to macroscopic observables. An emphasis is placed on the integration over multiple time scales, the use of complementary techniques, and the incorporation of external stimuli to control interfacial properties with spatial, temporal, and chemical specificity.

Abstract
Apoptotic caspases execute programmed cell death, where low levels of caspase activity are linked to cancer (Kasibhatla & Tseng, 2003). Chemotherapies utilize induction of apoptosis as a key mechanism for cancer treatment, where caspase-3 is a major player involved in dismantling these aberrant cells. The ability to sensitively measure the initial caspase-3 cleavage events during apoptosis is important for understanding the initiation of this complex cellular process; however, current ensemble methods are not sensitive enough to measure single cleavage events in cells. To overcome this, we describe a procedure to develop peptide-linked gold nanoparticles that have unique optical properties and can serve as beacons to visualize the apoptotic drug response in cancer cells at the single-molecule level. By thorough analyses of their trajectories, one can reveal early-stage caspase-3 activation in live cells continuously and with no ambiguity.

Abstract
Caspases are proteases involved in cell death, where caspase-3 is the chief executioner that produces an irreversible cutting event in downstream protein substrates and whose activity is desired in the management of cancer. To determine such activity in clinically relevant samples with high signal-to-noise, plasmon rulers are ideal because they are sensitively affected by their interparticle separation without ambiguity from photobleaching or blinking effects. A plasmon ruler is a noble metal nanoparticle pair, tethered in close proximity to one another via a biomolecule, that acts through dipole-dipole interactions and results in the light scattering to increase exponentially. In contrast, a sharp decrease in intensity is observed when the pair is confronted by a large interparticle distance. To align the mechanism of protease activity with building a sensor that can report a binary signal in the presence or absence of caspase-3, we present a caspase-3 selective plasmon ruler (C3SPR) composed of a pair of Zn0.4Fe2.6O4@SiO2@Au core-shell nanoparticles connected by a caspase-3 cleavage sequence. The dielectric core (Zn0.4Fe2.6O4@SiO2)-shell (Au) geometry provided a brighter scattering intensity versus solid Au nanoparticles, and the magnetic core additionally acted as a purification handle during the plasmon ruler assembly. By monitoring the decrease in light scattering intensity per plasmon ruler, we detected caspase-3 activity at single molecule resolution across a broad dynamic range. This was observed to be as low as 100 fM of recombinant material or 10 ng of total protein from cellular lysate. By thorough analyses of single molecule trajectories, we show caspase-3 activation in a drug-treated chronic myeloid leukemia (K562) cancer system as early as 4 and 8 h with greater sensitivity (2- and 4-fold, respectively) than conventional reagents. This study provides future implications for monitoring caspase-3 as a biomarker and efficacy of drugs.

Abstract
This article presents a critical evaluation of silver nanorod arrays as substrates for assaying nucleic acid hybridization by surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). SERS spectra acquired on complementary oligos, alone or in combination, contain the known spectral signatures of the nucleotides that comprise the oligo; however, no signature bands characteristic of the hybrid were observed. Spectra acquired on an oligo with a 5'- or 3'-thiol were distinctly different from that acquired on the identical oligo without a thiol pendant group suggesting a degree of control over the orientation of the oligo on the nanorod surface. A set of oligos consisting of adenine tracts in a polycytosine chain served as molecular rulers to probe the distance dependence of the SERS enhancement. Using these, we have identified the point at which the characteristic bands for the nucleotides that comprise the oligo disappear from the spectrum. These findings suggest that the applicability of SERS for label-free detection of nucleic acid hybridization is limited to short oligos of less than nine nucleotides.
