* The data can be compared against the Au/ADA solution made on [[User:Keyun Wang/Notebook/Experimental Biological Chemistry I/2012/11/27|2012/11/27]]. While the Au/ADA before dialysis appeared to have influence between the mole ratio of gold to ADA and concentration of gold nanoparticles in solution, the Au/ADA samples after dialysis does not. This can be explained by the presence of salt in solution that encouraged gold nanoparticle formation but can stabilize the protein nanoparticles to prevent nanoparticles from aggregating. | * The data can be compared against the Au/ADA solution made on [[User:Keyun Wang/Notebook/Experimental Biological Chemistry I/2012/11/27|2012/11/27]].

* Furthermore, the solutions for Au/ADA samples before dialysis did not appear purple, while solutions for Au/ADA samples after dialysis formed purple solutions and purple fibers. This can also be explained by the presence of salt in solution. The presence of salt might interact with gold nanoparticles in a way that encouraged gold nanoparticle configuration that does not absorbce at 525nm. The absence of salt in solution might allow gold nanoparticle to adapt another confirmation that does absorb at 525nm. | * Furthermore, the solutions for Au/ADA samples before dialysis did not appear purple, while solutions for Au/ADA samples after dialysis formed purple solutions and purple fibers.

* A graph plotting HCl to gold in parts per million versus absorbance is shown below: | |||

* The equation on graph was used to calculate the concentration of gold in Au/ADA samples. The following equation was used: | |||
Absorbance = 0.0153 * Concentration + 0.045 | |||
* Absorbance for all Au/ADA samples were taken. Below is a table listing the absorbance of each Au/ADA samples. Concentration of gold in parts per million is also listed after converting from absorbance to concentration using the formula above: | |||

* A graph was made with concentration in parts per million of gold versus the Au/ADA samples in mole ratios. | |||
[[Image:Concentration versus Au ADA mole ratios.png|350px]] | |||
* From the graph above, it can be seen that the concentration calculated were below zero. This can indicate that the spectrometer was not properly calibrated. Furthermore, a reference sample with water was not run for this set of data, thus the data cannot be readjusted. Despite the negative concentration, it can be seen that the gold concentration in Au/ADA samples remain relatively the same. | |||
* There was a high peak at 80 Au/ADA, but it was due to the accidental intake of fibers instead of solutions. With the data point at 80Au/ADA excluded, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between mole ratio of Au/ADA and gold concentration in solutions. | |||
==Procedure for Au/ADA Resuspension in Tris Buffer== | |||
* Au/ADA samples ranging from 60 to 110 were used to test resuspension of fibers using Tris buffer of different concentration and pH. | |||
* 100mM of Tris buffer made on [[User:Keyun Wang/Notebook/Experimental Biological Chemistry I/2012/09/04|2012/09/04]] were diluted on [[User:Keyun Wang/Notebook/Experimental Biological Chemistry I/2012/09/05|2012/09/05]] to100uM, 10uM, and 1uM at pH 10.0 and pH 8.0 were used to resuspension. | |||
* Au/ADA samples with mole ratios ranging from 60 to 110 have about 7.5mL left in Falcon tube after Atomic Absorption spectrometer testing. 1mL of tris buffer of varying concentrations and pH were added into each sample to make up a 1:7.5 ratio of tris buffer to Au/ADA sample. | |||
* Table listing Tris buffer used and the pH for each Au/ADA samples were listed below: | |||

* All solutions were successfully resuspended after the addition of Tris buffer. The solution after resuspension appeared as purple homogenous mixture and are clear in color. A picture taken after resuspension of all resuspended Au/ADA samples is shown below: | |||
[[Image:Au ADA after resuspension.jpg|600px]] | |||
* The color for solution for 110 Au/ADA were clearer than other Au/ADA samples because the solution was lighter in color before resuspension. | |||
* The amount of time it took for each solution to resuspend was recorded in table below: | |||

* From table above, it can be concluded that resuspension happened faster in solutions with Tris buffer pH 10.0 then solutions with Tris buffer pH 8.0. | |||
* It was observed that resuspension time needed was must shorter in Tris buffer with pH 10.0 than in Tris buffer with pH 8.0. Possible reason for this result can be due to the high pH introduced by Tris buffer at pH 10.0 is much higher than the isoelectric point in ADA protein. This allows proteins to become negatively charged faster. Ions in buffer with stronger ionic strength can dissociate in solution and break apart the nanoparticle aggregation by interacting with the net negative charge on protein. | |||
* On the other side, at pH 8.0, less ADA proteins make the transition in time in order to take on a whole negative charge. As a result, not all ions would be able to form charge-charge interaction with the proteins, and in total delaying the process for protein aggregation breakdown, slowing down the time for complete resuspension. | |||
