Entry title
- Nanofibers formed but were not the color that they were suppose to be
- The concentration of gold and myoglobin were increased and new solutions were made
- Taller scaffolds were printed, so the entire solution had scaffold present
- 100:1 Gold:Myoglobin Nanofibers alone
- 100:1 Gold:Myoglobin Nanofibers on PLA scaffolds<br.>
- <br.>
- 100:1 Gold:Myoglobin Nanofbiers on PLA sacffold- under microscope<br.>
-
Calculations
- For the new Au:Myoglobin solutions, we used:
- Au stock solution:
- 0.011g x (1 mol/393.833g) x 0.010L = 2.793mM
- Myoglobin stock solution:
- 0.011g x (1 mol/17699g) x 0.010L = 0.0621mM
- Volumes of Au, Myoglobin, and water for each test tube:
- Final [Au]=0.5mM, 5mL total volume
- For the new solutions, one will have a tall scaffold, another with four scaffold that equal the tall scaffold, and the third one will have a short one
- The other nine solutions will be used for later testing
- The 12 were put in the oven for 4hrs at 80°C
