Tasklist
We will continue the rotation that we started last week.
All groups will set up dialysis.
1 Group will work on GPC.
The other two will either retry Bradford, create a Ca2+ calibration, or a Cl- calibration.
- Dialysis
- Prepare 10 mL 0.5 g/L Lysozyme
- Prepare 2 mL 50 mM CaCl2 (if you read ahead, you can use your CaCl2 calibration stock)
- Prepare 2 mL 500 μM CaCl2 (if you read ahead, you can use a CaCl2 calibration dilution)
- Prepare 2 mL 50 mM NaCl (if you read ahead, you can use your NaCl calibration stock)
- Prepare 1 mL 0.25 mM HCl using your 2.5 mM stored stock
- Cut a piece of 3500 MWCO flat dialysis tubing, wet it, and insert it in the 5-well dialysis chamber
- Clamp the dialysis chamber shut
- Fill one side of each well with 1 mL of your 0.5 g/L Lysozyme solution
- Transfer 1 mL to a plastic test tube using a pippetter, then
- Carefully fill each well with with a glass Pasteur pipette
- You may need to tip the chamber on an angle to reduce water surface tension
- Fill the other side of the well with one of the following solutions
- HPLC water, 0.25 mM HCl, 50 mM CaCl2, 500 μM CaCl2, or 50 mM NaCl
- Each well has a different solution, which will be tested tomorrow
- Insert top screws to prevent leaking/evaporation
- GPC
- Prepare 500 mL 0.5M HAc / 0.3M Na2SO4
- Prepare 10 mL 1 g/L Lysozyme using the HAc/Na2SO4 stock
- Using your 1 g/L Lysozyme & HAc/Na2SO4 stock, prepare 5 mL 0.5 g/L & 5 mL 0.1 g/L Lysozyme
- Filter your remaining HAc/Na2SO4 stock through 0.2 μM membrane filter into clean & dry filter flask
- Run GPC (I will instruct you)
- Ca2+ calibration curve
- Prepare 25 mL 50 mM CaCl2 using HPLC water
- Using serial dilutions, prepare 25 mL each of 5 mM, 500 μM, 50 μM, & 5 μM CaCl2
- Measure Ca2+ using ISE
- Try measuring 50 μM and 50 mM of other salts to check for interferences (Mg2+ should, Na+ should not)
- Be sure to measure HPLC water, DI water, tap water, and your lysozyme stock solution.
- Cl- calibration curve
- Prepare 25 mL 50 mM NaCl using HPLC water
- Using serial dilutions, prepare 25 mL each of 5 mM, 500 μM, 50 μM, & 5 μM NaCl
- Measure Cl- using ISE
- Try measuring 50 μM and 50 mM of other salts to check for interferences & ion-pairing
- Be sure to measure HPLC water, DI water, tap water, and your lysozyme stock solution.
