Absorbance Measurements of Au@SiO@/DNA (8/29/13)

ε of thiol-DNA= 607500 A=0.553 b=1 cm

A=εbc

c=A/εb

c = 9.10x10^-7M = 0.910uM

Addition of ThT

[ThT] must be twice what [DNA] is

[DNA] = 0.910μM, so [ThT] must be 1.82μM

Use 150μL of DNA-AuNP solution (10%=15μL)

1.820x10-6M x 165x10-6L solution = 3.003x10-10 moles ThT

(3.003x10-10 moles ThT)/ 15 x 10-6 L = 20.02μM

-Add 15μL of 20.2μM to 150μL thiol-DNA/AuNP solution

NEW Concentrations:

[DNA]= 0.827μM, [ThT] = 1.82μM

1) Prepare 100uL 20uM ThT (use already prepared 5/14/13)

2) React with DNA ten minutes

3) Observe absorbance and fluorescence
