* The absorbance of the citrate-AuNP solution was determined by first determining the absorbance of a blank sample. The absorbance of the citrate-AuNP solution was correct by subtracting the absorbance of the blank sample. | |||
* In order to determine the molar absorptivity, ε, this [http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/ac0702084/suppl_file/ac0702084si20070321_014144.pdf reference] was used. The peak appeared at 520 nm on the UV-VIS spectrum with a corresponding absorbance of 0.02. Using the ratio, A<sub>spr</sub>/A<sub>450</sub>, it was determined that the nanoparticle diameter was 12 nm. This diameter is associated with a molar absorptivity of 1.09x10<sup>8</sup> M<sup>-1</sup>cm<sup>-1</sup>. |

ObjectiveSynthesize two different sets of gold nanoparticles. In one set, Au3+ is reduced by a protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA) and the synthesized nanoparticle is also surrounded and stabilized by BSA. In the second set, Au3+ is reduced by citrate, and the AuNP is stabilized by citrate in solution. The BSA-AuNPs are purple in color and the citrate-AuNPs are more of a burgundy (reddish) color.
