Purpose

To test the activity of our HRP-NPs for the catalytic conversion of luminol.

Procedure

Creating the Luminol-H2O2 Solution

  1. Add 1.293 mL of the luminol stock and 2.131 mL of the hydrogen peroxide stock to a 10 mL volumetric flask.
  2. Dilute the solution to 10 mL with buffer.

Enzyme Kinetics Measurement

  1. Add 3 mL of the luminol-H2O2 solution to a cuvette.
  2. Start kinetics measurement:
  • 1 ms integration
  • 10 scan average
  • Set "Save the first available scan every" to 15 seconds
  • Set "Stop after this amount of time" to 10 minutes
  • Set "File Type" to Tab Delimited
  • Just before 1 minute, add 100 μL of 60:1 Au:HRP solution.


  • What percent of HRP is still active?

Control:

  • experiment with BSA-AuNPs and citrate-AuNPs
  • what concentration of AuNPs about the same (use absorption spectra)


Notes

  • The buffer was 5.1 mM Tris at pH 8.
  • The stock concentration of luminol was 1.46 mM.
  • The stock concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 44.29 mM.
