Abstract: Provided is a nanoplasmonic sensor and a kit for biomolecule analysis, and a method of analyzing a biomolecule using the same. The method includes: providing the nanoplasmonic sensor including a dielectric grating extending in one direction, and a metal structure disposed to cover an upper surface and a side surface of the dielectric grating and have at least one bent portion; immobilizing a first probe molecule on a surface of the metal structure; hybridizing an analyte with the first probe molecule by introducing the analyte having a base sequence complementary to the first probe molecule; binding a second probe molecule that is hybridized with the first probe molecule to the analyte; binding an enzyme to the second probe molecule; introducing a substrate that reacts with the enzyme to produce a precipitate by an enzymatic reaction; and measuring localized surface plasmon resonance in the metal structure.
