    • 42.97 mg HAuCl4 using parafilmed spatula
    • 50 mL water in vol flask
    • 2.53 mM stock soln
  2. Volumes Needed For Colloid & Fiber Solutions

Au:protein 30 40 130 140
  1. AuNP Preparations
    • 30:1 Au-Lys --> 988 μL Au + 2*587 μL protein + 7.838 mL H2O
    • 40:1 Au-Lys --> 988 μL Au + 2*440 μL protein + 8.131 mL H2O
    • 140:1 Au-BSA --> 988 μL Au + 2*503 μL protein + 8.006 mL H2O
    • Heated in foil covered glass test tubes 80 °C for 3 hr
    • Added 24.32 mg CaCl2 ("anhydrous" label, but visibly wet) to 30:1 Au-Lys solution
    • Fibers in other two, as expected
    • Invertase not dissolved, so not used
