Objectives

  1. Run UV-vis on the 20 protein-Au nanoparticle samples prepared on 10/22/2013.
  2. Synthesize new HRP-AuNP solutions and Myoglobin-AuNP solutions for future catalytic activity testing.


HRP-AuNP and Myoglobin-AuNP

  • The protein-AuNP solutions prepared on 10/22/2013 did not produce fibers. As such, new protein-AuNP solutions with increased ratios of protein-AuNP were prepared in order to determine the optimal concentration of Au to protein to synthesize fibers.
  • The general protocol for the synthesis of HRP-AuNP and Pepsin-AuNP follows the general protocol for the preparation of protein wrapped Au-NPs described on 08/28/2013.
  • 5mL of each solution was prepared.

UV/vis of Pepsin-AuNP and HRP-AuNP

The general protocol for the UV/vis spectrum on the prepared protein-AuNP solutions was follwed

  1. Place 1mL of each ratio in an 1.5mL eppendorf tube.
  2. Centrifuge at maximum speed for 30 minutes.
  3. Take a UV-Vis spectrum of each sample from 200nm to 800nm.
  4. After taking the spectrum, store the sample in a fresh eppy tube in an upright position.

Notes

  • The remaining UV/vis samples will be run during the next lab period.
  • Although
