Reaction of OPD and H2O2 in MeOH with Mb/Phosphate Catalyst Objectives: 1. Continue analysis of reaction between OPD and Hydrogen Peroxide with Mb catalyst in Phosphate buffer 2. Lyopholize more solutions of Mb in buffer for reaction Procedure: 1. Same as 5/20, except with Phosphate buffer Lyopholization of Mb in Buffers: 1. 5 milligrams of Myoglobin and 490 milligrams of KCl were added to four tubes 2. 20 mL of each buffer was added (pH 9 Tris; pH 7 Phosphate; pH 5 Acetate; pH 3 Citrate) 3. The solutions were frozen in liquid nitrogen and lyopholized Graphs: Observations: The data was not as consistent as 5/21/2013, especially in the 25°C and 35°C trials. The curves were also wider over the absorbance spectrum, more so than the previous reactions.
