Notes

  • All prepared protein-AuNP were colorless. However, the invertase-AuNP solutions prepared had a slightly cloudy appearance.

AA spectroscopy


  1. Transfer 3mL of sample from test tubes into a 10mL falcon tube.
  2. Centrifuge 3mL protein-AuNP solutions for 30 minutes at 4000rpm. Be sure that the centrifuge is balanced.
  3. Prepare 5 standard Au solutions (10μg/mL, 20μg/mL, 30μg/mL, 40μg/mL, 50μg/mL) following protocol described on 09/10/2013.
  4. Run samples on AA.
