08/30/2018-Experimenting with Aliphatic Amino Acids

Aliphatic Amino Acids:

  • Glycine
  • Alanine
  • Valine
  • Leucine
  • Isoleucine
  • Proline
  • Methionine *** immediately changed color

Concentration of Amino Acid help constant at 250 µm

0.05 L * (250*10^16) = 1.25 * 10 ^-5 moles

Concentration of gold solution (using HAuCl4 and DI water) 2.5mM 0.0866g HAuCl4 --> 1 L DI water

Concentration of NaOH = 5mM


Total Solution- First Group:

  • 1mL DI water
  • 1mL Gold solution
  • 1mL Amino Acid solution

Second Group:

  • 1mL 5mM
  • 1mL Gold solution
  • 1mL Amino Acid solution

4 hours over night in a 80 ℃ oven- samples observed the next day- Methionine had biggest reaction
