Tasks for October 22 Data analysis for 30:1 colloid solution vs CaCl2 using MWCO 3500 New dialysis of 0.6 g/ L Lysozyme vs KI using 3500 MWCO since dialysis from Oct. 8 did not work due to incorrect dilutions 0.6g/L solution vs KI (MWCO 3500) Dialysis Data Bradford Analysis Only running bradford analysis of protein-containing solutions, that is Lys 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, since the protein cannot diffuse through 3500 MWCO. Remove 50 μL of solution from each chamber (7 in all) and run Bradford analysis Bradford reagent should be diluted 1:3 with 50mM Tris/50mM NaCl Recall, 50 μL solution + 200 μL diluted Bradford + 750 μL Tris/NaCl buffer PS cuvettes, measuring 400 - 800 nm I- ISE I- concentration mV measurement (mV) 2mM (1) -175.3 Lys (1) -174.0 5 mM -196.4 Lys (2) -188.5 10 mM -208.9 Lys (3) -210.5 25 mM -231.5 Lys (4) -229.1 50 mM -250.2 Lys (5) -244.3 UV-Vis measurements It was found that KI interferes with the Bradford reagent, so that no Bradford can bind to protein. No peak was seen using UV-Vis Fluorescence measurements No fluorescence measurements were taken on the samples, since nothing was detected using UV-Vis absorption.
