Protein Solution Preparation Lysozyme Mw = 14,307 Da 0.00637 g in 25 mL vol flask (17.81 μM) 0.02538 g in 25 mL vol flask (70.96 μM = 1.01 g/L) BSA Mw = 66,430 Da 0.02944 g in 25 mL vol flask (17.73 μM = 1.18 g/L) Invertase Mw = 270,000 Da 0.09497 g in 10 mL vol flask (35.2 μM = 9.56 g/L) Did not completely dissolve General Procedure for determining appropriate concentration: Identify [Au]:[protein] concentration required for fiber formation [Au]f = 0.25 mM = 250 μM for correct pH Want to add 1 mL of each stock, diluted to 10 mL for fiber formation [Au]stock = 2.5 mM For BSA, fiber formation occurs at [Au]:[protein] = 135 [Protein] = [Au]/135 = 18.5 μM Note that the final prepared solution will have [protein]f = 1.85 μM
