#Protein extraction
*Extract ADA from E. Coli
##Cells were removed from freezer and warmed to room temperature in a water bath.
*Obtain two sets of UV/Vis spectra for Au/BSA solutions with varying concentrations of Tris, to see how absorbance changes over time
##Cells were sonicated
==Procedure==
###Each vial was placed in an ice bath for 30 seconds
*Protein extraction
###Sonication device was placed in each vial for 30 seconds
**[[User:Mary_Mendoza|Mary Mendoza]] and [[User:Puja_Moody|Puja Moody]] extracted the protein prepared [[User:Mary_Mendoza/Notebook/CHEM_571_Experimental_Biological_Chemistry_I/2012/09/19|9/19]]
###This was repeated 3 times for each vial.
*Solutions of 70 [Au/BSA] prepared [[User:Michael_F._Nagle/Notebook/Chem_571/2012/09/19|9/19]] with Tris at molarities of .05mM, .5mM, 5mM, 50mM, 100mM, 200mM, 500mM, and 1M went through two rounds each of UV/Vis.
##Cells were centrifuged at 18000rpm and 4°C for 2 hours to seperate ADA from E. Coli
## Binding and elution buffers were purified via vacuum filtration and a 450nm membrane filter.
## Vacuum filtration was used to seperate proteins from cells. ADA was collected in falcon vials and refridgerated.
 
#Solutions of Au/BSA at a mole ratio of 70 (at which fibers are not produced) with Tris at molarities of .05mM, .5mM, 5mM, 50mM, 100mM, 200mM, 500mM, and 1M went through two rounds each of UV/Vis.

*Opposite trends can be seen between the two groups' trials. In ours, lower molarities of Tris resulted in higher absorbance, while the Chem-571 class last year, lower absorbance for lower molarities of Tris could be seen. Their absorbance values were also much higher. The fact that opposite trends are seen in all samples means that if this was due to error, it was a systematic error. More trials should be run.
*No significant difference is seen between our two UV/Vis trials, except for 5mM in the second trial, which has a much higher absorbency peak. This may be due to random error.

Objectives

  • Extract ADA from E. Coli
  • Obtain two sets of UV/Vis spectra for Au/BSA solutions with varying concentrations of Tris, to see how absorbance changes over time

Procedure

  • Protein extraction
  • Solutions of 70 [Au/BSA] prepared 9/19 with Tris at molarities of .05mM, .5mM, 5mM, 50mM, 100mM, 200mM, 500mM, and 1M went through two rounds each of UV/Vis.

Results of other group:

Discussion

  • Opposite trends can be seen between the two groups' trials. In ours, lower molarities of Tris resulted in higher absorbance, while the Chem-571 class last year, lower absorbance for lower molarities of Tris could be seen. Their absorbance values were also much higher. The fact that opposite trends are seen in all samples means that if this was due to error, it was a systematic error. More trials should be run.
  • No significant difference is seen between our two UV/Vis trials, except for 5mM in the second trial, which has a much higher absorbency peak. This may be due to random error.
