Objective To prepare gold fibers that we'll will use for the rest of the semester. To prepare protease samples that we will use for the rest of the semester and record the mass of 15 eppendorf tubes. To compile the class's UV/Vis, florescence, and average eppendorf tube mass data. To run our Au fibers with trypsin on the Ocean Optics Spec. Procedures Preparing gold fiber We followed the protocol from September 2nd except we used the stock concentration made by Dr. Hartings today, see description. Preparing protease samples We weighed and recorded the mass of an eppendorf tube. We tared the scale and added between 0.001 g to 0.002 g of protease to the tube. We labeled the tube with the date, molarity (if 1 mL of water is added), protease (Trypsin), and RAM. We repeated steps 1-3 for to create 15 protease samples and stored in our freezer box. Last we uploaded the weights of the 15 eppendorf tubes to dropbox, and averaged all the groups weights. Ocean Optics Instrument settings - total measurement for 2.5 hours and a reading was recorded ever 2 minutes. Sample preparation We prepared a 1 mL sample of 52.36 µM of Trypsin and water solution. Then we calculated sample solution we needed to make a 1µM sample in 3 mL. We added 1 mL of gold fibers, 0.3 mL of buffer, and 0.0573 mL of trypsin after the second reading. We added 1.643 mL of water to reach 3 mL of sample in the cuvette. Calculations for volume of trypsin: C1·V1 = C2·V2, where C1 = 52.36µM C2 = 1µM V2 = 3mL V1 = 57.3µL Description Target Concentrations Based on the total reaction volume that the class will be using and the final concentrations that will be in each reaction volume, I have determined that the following HAuCl4·H2O and Lysozyme masses are appropriate for today's stock solutions. Stock solutions HAuCl4·H2O 2.5 mM MW = 339.79 g/mol Volume = 50 mL 42.4 mg Lysozyme 20 μM MW = 14307 g/mol Volume = 100 mL 28.6 mg Actual Concentrations The actual masses are different from the target masses. The concentrations shown below reflect the actual concentrations made for the stock solutions. I used a 50 mL volumetric flask to make the gold stock solution and a 100 mL volumetric flask to make the protein solution. In each case I used HPLC-grade water. Stock solutions HAuCl4·H2O 50.38 mg MW = 339.79 g/mol Volume = 50 mL 2.96 mM Lysozyme 28.69 mg MW = 14307 g/mol Volume = 100 mL 20.1 μM Directions for making samples Note: The final concentration of gold should be 0.25 mM and the final concentration of lysozyme should be 5.556 μM. This gives a Au:lysozyme ratio of 45, which should yield fibers. 1 mL samples Volume of gold stock: 84.4 μL Volume of protein stock: 276 μL Volume of water: 640 μL 5 mL samples Volume of gold stock: 422 μL Volume of protein stock: 1,380 μL Volume of water: 3,198 μL Data The table below lists the protease samples we prepared and the mass of the corresponding eppendorf tube.

Matt HartingsYou need to discuss the results from #1, #2, and #3 from your objectives. What is the data from the tube measurement? What was the result of your measurements with the ocean optics? What were the results of your fiber synthesis?
