3. Ca2+ Calibration Curve
- The data for 5 μM-50mM CaCl2 was combined with 5 mM-45 mM CaCl2 and a final Calibration Curve was formed
4. Prepare dialysis of 30:1 Colloid vs CaCl2 Using 3500 MWCO Tubing
- Add 1 mL of 30:1 Colloid to one side of the dialysis chamber
- Add 1 mL of CaCl2 (5 mM-45 mM) to each chamber --- a different concentration per well opposite to 30:1 colloid
- Sit on low speed shaker overnight to reach equilibrium
5. Preparation of Enzyme Kinetics on UV-Vis
- This procedure was performed by Alicia Rasines Mazo
- The 66 mM potassium phosphate solution prepared on October 14, 2014 was used.
- As recorded, it had pH of 6.319 and it was refrigerated overnight
- Prepared 10 mL 0.01 wt% Micrococcus lysodeikticus Cell Suspension (in freezer) using phosphate buffer. 0.0012 g of Micrococcus lysodeikticus were added.
- Adjust the cell suspension concentration until the Absorbance at λ = 450 nm is between 0.6 & 0.7. The protocol followed is listed by Sigma-Aldrich and can be reached here Enzymatic Assay
