Entry title

  1. Continue biomineralization. Prepare protein-AuNPs for Hemoglobin and Lysozyme.
  2. Analyze protein-AuNP solutions prepared on 10/30/2013 using UV/vis spectroscopy.


UV/vis Analysis

General Protocol:

  1. Place 1mL of each ratio in an 1.5mL eppendorf tube.
  2. Centrifuge at maximum speed for 30 minutes.
  3. Take a UV-Vis spectrum of each sample from 200nm to 800nm.
  4. After taking the spectrum, store the sample in a fresh eppy tube in an upright position.
