Objective

The objective of today's lab is to synthesize AuNPs for reactivity tests tomorrow. Also to determine the Au;Protein ratio that is required for fiber formation of HRP and for pepsin.

Protocol

The following has been taken from Matt Harting's lab notebook.

  1. Synthesis of HRP-AuNPs and Pepsin-AuNPs
    1. Into test tube that will contain a total of 5mL add
    2. Au solution such that the final concentration is 0.25mM
    3. Protein solution such that the final concentration reflects the following Au:Protein ratios
      1. 30
      2. 50
      3. 70
      4. 90
      5. 110
      6. 130
      7. 150
      8. 170
      9. 190
      10. 210
    4. Water up to 5mL


HRP-AuNP and Pepsin-AuNP

Data

  • Absorbance of BSA-AuNPs was determined for future comparison of the activity of protein-AuNPs.


Figure 1. Absorbance spectra of a 1/10 dilution of BSA-AuNPs

  • Absorbance of all starting materials used for synthesis of AuNPs today for future comparison


Figure 2. Absorbance spectra of a 1/10 dilution of 2.52mM gold in water

Figure 3. Absorbance spectra of 1/2 dilution of 15.3μM HRP

Figure 4. Absorbance spectrum of 1/10 dilution of 15.6μM pepsin

  • No absorbance peak was observed for pepsin. This was expected due to the lack of color of the pepsin stock solution.
