3-Methyladenine and 7-methyladenine are biomarkers of DNA damage from exposure to methylating agents. For example, the concentration of 3-methyladenine increases significantly in the urine of cigarette smokers. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has shown much potential for detection of biomolecules, including DNA. Much work has been dedicated to the canonical nucleobases, with comparatively fewer investigations of modified DNA and modified DNA nucleobases. Herein, Raman spectroscopy and SERS are used to examine the adsorption orientations of 3-methyladenine and 7-methyladenine on Ag nanoparticles. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP level are used to support the conclusions via simulated spectra of the nucleobases and of Ag+/nucleobase complexes. The results herein show that 7-methyladenine adsorbs upright via its N3 and N9 atoms side, similarly to adenine. 3-Methyladenine adsorbs in a very tilted or flat orientation on the Ag nanoparticles. These findings will be useful for future SERS or other nanoparticle-based bioanalytical assays for detection of these methyladenines or other modified nucleobases.
