    This document discusses color reaction tests used to identify proteins and their structure. Common tests include the Biuret test, which detects peptide bonds and turns purple, and the Xanthoproteic test, which detects tryptophan and tyrosine amino acids and turns yellow or orange. These color tests can identify unknown protein samples and help study protein structure and function.
