Since silver ion is known for its antimicrobial function, most of the research has focused mainly on toxicity effects rather than the role of silver ion in general biology and the behind mechanism of actions of silver ion in mammalian cells. Moreover, a conventional in vitro approach to estimate the effects of silver ion on cells does not provide information about the biochemical changes and might accompany artifacts due to invasive and destructive sample preparation processes. In the present study, in-situ real time approaches were applied to evaluate the impact of silver ion (0.57, 1.34, 1.96, 2.33 mg/L) on fibroblast cells. Raman spectroscopy analysis showed that Raman peak intensities of proteins and nucleic acids significantly increased in the cells after exposure to silver ion for 21 h, especially at relatively higher levels 1.34, 1.96, and 2.33 mg/L. Raman peak at 1585 cm |
