ObjectiveAuNP VIII To synthesize AuNP using the procedure developed here:
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jp110296y
To transform DNA coding for mutant GFP (mutated on 11/01/11) into Novablue cells.
To determine whether or not the PCR performed on 11/01/11 of the DNA coding for a mutant GFP was successful using agarose gel electrophoresis.
DescriptionAuNP VIII
DataAuNP VIII At 60 min, gray fibers began to conglomerate in the test tubes that were removed from the oven. At approximately the same time, gray fibers began to appear throughout the solution left in the oven. NotesAuNP VIII New HAuCl4 was used to make the nanoparticle solution.
