*For the redone AuNP/BSA UV-Vis tests done. Instead of just one peak at 550nm, there was an uncharacteristic peak at around 490-500nm as well. As a result, distilled water was also tested to see if it had been a factor in causing an adjustment to the same. In the data spreadsheet, the UV-Vis data for each of the samples then had the UV-Vis data for water subtracted from it in order to test if it was the water that had caused the peak. The graphs clearly show that without the water, the background, the second peak was removed. | *For the redone AuNP/BSA UV-Vis tests done.

*Based on graphs: The gold nano particle/ BSa fibers were placed in the Buffer solution. But based on the graph data which does that there was no increase in the concentration of the gold nano particles in the tris buffer. Thus it can be concluded that the nano particle fibers did not dissolve in the buffer. | |||

Redone Uv-vis minus water abs.
There was no noticeable change between the three absorbance spectras. The data was further broken down to show the no change. The data spreadsheets also include graphs comparing each concentration for each abs. spectra (ex. 1x10-1 for rounds 1-3). Conclusions
