Objectives

  • Prepare an AuNP/DNA sample
  • Prepare ThT/DNA sample
  • Prepare MB sample
  • Prepare ThT sample
  • Prepare 0.05M phosphate buffer

Procedures

Part 1: Preparation of AuNP-DNA sample

Final concentrations of AuNP and DNA should be 14.835nM and 1.11625μM respectively

1) 53.1μM(x)=(4.4506μM)(250μL)

x= 20.95μL in 229.05μL PBS

mix 20.95μL 53.1μM thiol-DNa with 229.05μL PBS

2) Mix 250μL DNA solution with 250μL 100mM DTT in 4% TEA

NEW [DNA] = 2.225μM

3) React 10 minutes

5) Extract DTT from solution using 4 2mL aliquots of ethyl acetate

6) Mix 232.4μL DNA, 232.4μL 29.7nM AuNP, and 36.2μL sodium citrate buffer

NEW [DNA] = 1.034μM NEW {[AuNP] = 13.805nM

7) React 10 minutes

8) Centrifuge for 7 minutes at 10000rpm

Part 2: Preparation of thiol-DNA/ThT solution

concentration of DNA must match [DNA] in AuNP/DNA solution and [ThT] must be at least twice this

1) 5.82μM(x)=(2.2253μM)(250μL)

x = 95.6μL in 154.4μL PBS to make 250μL 2.2263μM DNA

2) 120μM(x)=(250μL)(4.44μM)

x = 9.25μL in 240.75μL PBS to make 250μL 4.44μM ThT
