Characteristic Raman lines of relevant organic compounds or functional groups (compiled from literature).

These can be observed also in eukaryotic cells (c.f. [85], [ 98]). Only the most prominent lines of fatty acids (or lipids) are listed. The defining phospholipid line is due to the symmetric diester O-P-O stretching mode of the polar head group and its precise wavenumber depends on various factors (see [100]); for the non-polar tail, see fatty acid lines in the column to the left.
