ObjectiveWe're going to perform a redox titration on HRP in order to determine the standard potential of this protein. DescriptionWe will use a Pine Instruments Honeycomb Spectroelectrochemical cell coupled to a WaveNow USB Potentiostat. The redox reaction will be monitored using a galvanic cell setting. UV Vis spectra will be recorded on an Ocean Optics Jaz Spectrometer. We will specifically use the Q-band to observe redox state following with my results from yesterday. Following the procedure in this reference, we will add DTT in 1uL increments and observe both the UVVis spectrum and the open circuit potential of the SpecEchem cell. We will ultimately plot %oxidized or %reduced versus voltage read. The degassed buffer will contain:
and the following redox mediators (in order to stabilize the solution potential)
Our HRP concentration will be roughly 30uM (in order to better observe the Q-bands). Also, the cuvette path length is shorter than 1cm, so we'll need a higher concentration to observe spectral changes. The final concentration of DTT should be 2000X the HRP concentration. This comes out to 60mM. We should perform 1uL additions. The initial volume in the cuvette will be 1.1mL (1mL is initially added to the cuvette and 0.1mL used to fill the honeycomb). (the sodium dithionite stock solution should be ~10M unfortunately the max solubility is 1.4M). DataThe buffer that was made yesterday will be used today with more degassing. Sodium Dithionite 6.3419g in 25.0mL --> 1.46M Degassed for 2 hours Dyes All of the dyes were placed in the same 10mL volumetric
The dye solution has a blue-ish tint to it. NotesThis area is for any observations or conclusions that you would like to note.
