Denaturation of Lysozyme
The Paper is here: Free
Energy Changes in Lysozyme Denaturation
The bare bones of the work
- You want to have concentrations of from 0 to 7 molar Guanadinum
Chloride.
- half molar steps from 0-3 M 0.33 M steps from 3-5 half molar
steps from 5-7 M
- you want an absorbsion of about 0.5 OD for the
lysozyme. you have avalable 10 mg/ml lysozyme more or less
- you will need to put this into the buffer listed in the
materials section of the paper PBS might also work thats what the
protein is
currently stored in.
- You need 3 ml of sample for each point
- You should build a table to show the volume of solution you are
putting into the test tubes
- we have 3 specs to do this work, on upstairs and two downstairs
maybe a fouth. and 5 teams all of you should put your solutions
together on Thursday some of you will be able to do your samples on
Thursday and read them that day some of you can read them at other
times. You probably dont want them to sit for more than 2
Days. If you need me to I can set up sign up
sheets.
- incubate samples for at least 30 min to reach equilibrium.
- Data treatment will be discussed in class.
