Quantitative test
Spectrophotometric assay Protein shows maximum absorbance at 280nm due to presence of tyrosine and tryptophane. Biuret test shows 540nm Lowry test shows 750nm
Ninhydrin Test
Amino acid containing a free amino group and a free carboxylic acid group that react together with ninhydrin to produce colured product. Protein also contain free amino group on the alpha-carbon and can react with ninhydrin to produce blue purple product. When the amino group is secondary the condensation product is yellow.
Biuret Test
It positively identifies the presence of protein in solution with a deep voilet colour.Biuret H2NCONHCONH2 reacts with
copper(11)ions in a basic solution to form a deep voilet complex.
Xanthoproteic Test
The amino acids that contain benzene ring like tyrosine and tryptophan undergo nitration in this test and gives yellow colour.
Millons Test It is specific for tyrosine, the only amino acid that contain a phenol group on which a hydroxyl group is attached. It gives red precipitate.
Hopkins_cole Test
It is specific for tryptophan, the only amino acid containing an indole group.The indole ring reacts with glyoxylic acid in the presence of a strong acid to form a voilet cyclic product.
Nitroprusside Test
It is specific for Cysteine, the only amino acid containing sulfahydryl group. Forms red complex.
