Ninhydrin reaction

Principle:

Ninhydrin is Specific for Amino Acids & Proteins – to differentiate between Carbohydrates (-ve) and Amino Acids & Proteins (+ve).

Ninhydrin Reacts with α-amino acids (–NH2) in proteins giving a purple colored

complex, except Proline and hydroxy proline gives yellow color(no –NH2).

Ninhydrin’s test

Ninhydrin is most commonly used as a forensic chemical to detect “fingerprints”, as amines left over from proteins sloughed off in fingerprints react with ninhydrin giving a characteristic purple color.

Procedure & observation:

− To 1 mL amino acid solution in a test tube, add 2 drops of ninhydrin reagent. − On cold and observe the formation of a purple color, OR

Biuret’s test

Principle:

Biuret test is Specific for Proteins – To differentiate between Proteins (+ve) and Amino Acids (-ve). The biuret reagent (copper sulfate in a strong base) reacts with

peptide bonds in proteins to form a blue to violet complex known as the “Biuret complex”.

Two peptide bonds at least are required for the formation of this complex.

Procedure & observation:

− To 1 mL of protein solution in a test tube, add 2 mL of 10% sodium hydroxide solution and 2 drops of 1% copper sulfate solution.

− Mix well; a violet color is obtained with albumin, casein & gelatin and a pinkish violet color with peptone.

Sakaguchi’s test

Principle:

Sakaguchi test is Specific for Arginine

Sakaguchi's test is positive for the amino acid containing the guanidine group in Arginine. Guanidine group present in the amino acid reacts with

α-Naphthol and alkaline hypobromite to give red-coloured complex.

Procedure & observation:

− To 1 mL of protein solution in a test tube, add 40%NaOH (2-4 drop) + Ethanolic a-Naphthol (2 drops) and Bromine water (5-10 drops)

− Mix well; a red-colour complex will be formed with Arginine or protein

Nitroprusside’s test

Principle:

It is specific for Proteins containing sulfur , -SH (in cysteine & cystine) give a red-purple colour called “Mörner test”.

Procedure & observation:

− To 1 mL of protein solution containing Cysteine/Cystine in a test tube, add 3 drops of a 5% solution of sodium nitroprusside

- Mix well and add few drops of ammonia solution, a deep red-purple color appears; called also Mörner test.

Millon’s test

Principle:

It is specific for Tyrosine. Millon's reagent (Hg/HNO3) gives positive results with proteins containing the phenolic amino acidtyrosine”.

Procedure & observation:

− To 1 mL of protein solution in a test tube, add 1ml of Millon’s reagent [Hg(SO4) + HNO3] then add NaNO2

- Heat up for few min

Aldehyde test

Principle:

It is Specific for Tryptophan. Sulphuric acid in presence of mercuric sulphate oxidizes the indole nucleus of tryptophan. The product formed reacts with

aldehydes to form violet colored complex.

Procedure & observation:

− To 1 ml of protein solution in a test tube, add 2 drops of 0.2 of Formalin + 1 drop of 10% HgSO4] and mix well.

− Incline the test tube and slowly add 2 ml of concentrated H2SO4 on the inner wall of the test tube to form violet-purple ring at the junction of the 2 layers. − A reddish violet ring is formed at the junction between the 2 layers with albumin and casein; gelatin gives negative results.

Some additional tests for qualitative

identification of proteins

A) Biuret Test:

Reagents:

1) 1 % CuSO4

2) 5% NaOH

Procedure:

To 1 ml of proteins solution, add 2ml of 5% NaOH

and 2 drops of 1% CuSO4 solution, mix well. A violet color

and 2 drops of 1% CuSO4 solution, mix well. A violet color

forms, which indicates the presence of peptide bonds in the

molecule.

B) Heat coagulation test

Place about 5 ml of egg-white solution (albumin solution) in a

test tube and heat the top part of the solution only. Note that it

gradually becomes cloudy and a flocculent precipitate of

C) Xanthoproteic Test:

Reagents

: a- Concentrated HNO3

b- 40% NaOH

Procedure:

a. To 3 ml of protein solution, add 1 ml of conc. HNO

. Mix and boil for 1min.

Cool under tap water. Yellow color forms.

b. Add 2 ml of 40% NaOH to make the solution alkaline. The color changes to

orange indicating the presence of aromatic amino acids.

Principle:

Principle:

This test is specific to the amino acids containing the benzene ring (aromatic

amino acids).

Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan reacts with conc. HNO3 at high

temperature to form nitro-compounds which are yellow in color, it turns to

orange color in an alkaline medium.

D) Picric acid test:

To 3 ml of gelatin solution in a test tube, add 2ml of saturated picric acid

solution, a yellow gelatinous precipitate is formed.
