#Solutions were made with the mole ratios of ([[AU_Biomaterials_Design_Lab:Materials/HAuCl4|HAuCl<sub>4</sub>]]/[[AU_Biomaterials_Design_Lab:Materials/BSA|BSA]]) 60, 80, 100, 120, 128, 130, 132, 133, 134, 136, 138, 140, 160, and 170. Volume of [[AU_Biomaterials_Design_Lab:Materials/HAuCl4|HAuCl<sub>4</sub>]] stock solution was calculated for each tube and inserted. The water needed for each tube was calculated by subtracting the volume of [[AU_Biomaterials_Design_Lab:Materials/HAuCl4|HAuCl<sub>4</sub>]] stock solution and [[AU_Biomaterials_Design_Lab:Materials/BSA|BSA]] stock solution from 6mL.

Objectives

  • Using UV/Vis, find which mole ratios of HAuCl4 to BSA result in the most BSA unfolding and formation of gold nanoparticles.
  • Make solutions with varying concentrations of Tris buffer and HAuCl4 and BSA fibers

Procedure

  1. UV/Vis
    1. 1mL of each solution with a varying mole ratios of HAuCl4 and BSA was inserted into a cuvette, which went into a UV/Vis Spectroscoper
    2. Spectra were obtained and peaks for gold nanoparticles were identified at the 520nm range.
    3. Cuvette was cleaned between each spectra, and the same cuvette was used each time
  2. Tris buffer serial dilution
    1. A .01M stock solution of Tris was made by putting .0121g Tris in 10mL H2O
      1. [(mass Tris)* 121.14g/mol Tris]/.01L = .01M Tris solution
      2. .0121g Tris
    2. 1mL was taken from the tube with a pipette and moved to the next tube. 1mL from this tube was moved to the next tube, and so on until all get some amount of Tris.
    3. 9mL H2O was put in the first tube to receive 1mL Tris from the stock solution.
    4. A serial dilution was repeated with H2O rather than Tris.
    5. Test tubes were wrapped and heated at at 80°C for 4 hours.
