Oct 06, 2010; Making stock solutions
Generated the stock solutions for the Followed the standard curve protocol.
- Made a 100 mM stock solution of BCS.
- Made two CuSO4 dilution series, in LB and MM, from 10 mM Cu to 10 pM.

- Measurement of Cu(II) reduction. Seven hundred seventy μl of BDA stock solution (5.7 mM) BDA in 5.2 M ammonium acetate/10% ethanol was mixed with 720 μL of CuSO4 solution (1.25 mM) in water and 10 μL of test compounds (15 mM) except quercetin (1.5 mM) dissolved in ethanol [37]. The complex formation (BDA/Cu(I)) was followed by optical density measurements made at 484 nm. The amount of reduced copper was determined from a calibration curve constructed using solutions of Cu(II) (0–300 μM) reduced by ascorbate (1 mM) in the presence of BDA (2.7 mM). The percent of ethanol in water for the dosage does not exceed 5.6%.
