Name of test, purpose of test, composition of reagent, positive results obtained.
II. PROCEDURE:
A. GENERAL PROTEIN COLOR TESTS (20 points)
(Perform the following tests on 1 ml. each of 1% solution of egg albumin, glycine and
phenylalanine)
1, Biuret Test
In separate test tubes containing 1 ml. of each of the above solutions, add 1 ml. of 10%
NaOH solution and drops of 0.1% cupric sulfate solution. To a fourth test tube containing
1 ml. of distilled water which serves as a blank, add the same amount of NaOH and
CuSO4. Describe any color change that occurs. Record your results in the table on the
next page.
2. Ninhydrin Test
In separate test tubes of the above solutions, add 1 ml. of ninhydrin solution. To a fourth
test tube containing 1 ml. of dilute ammonium hydroxide, add the same amount of
ninhydrin solution, Heat the tubes in a boiling water bath for 3 minutes and observe the
color changes which occur in each tube. Record your results in the table on the next page.
3. Xanthoproteic Test
In separate test tubes containing the above solutions, add an equal volume of cone. nitric
acid (CAUTION!) To a fourth test tube containing 1 ml. of tryptophan, add the same
amount of cone. nitric acid, Heat t for 2 minutes in a boiling water bath. Write your
results in the table on the next page.

B, COLOR TEST FOR SPECIFIE AMINO ACIDS (30 Points)
n’s Test for Tyrosine
In 3 separate test tube, place 2ml. each of 1% egg albumin, 1% gelatin and
0.02% salicylic acid solutic
ions. Add 3 drops of Millon’s reagent and heat the
tubes in boiling water bath for 2 minutes. Note the color produced. Record
your results in the table bel
low.
2, Hopkins-Cole Test for Tryptophan
In 3 separate test tubes, place 2 ml. each of 1% egg albumin, 1% gelatin and e
few granules of casein suspended n 2 mi. o water. Add 2 mi. of Hopkins-Cole
reagent to each tube and mix thoroughly. Hold each test tube in an inclined
position and carefully allow 3 ml. conc. sulfuric acid (CAUTION!) to slide
down the side of each tube, Let stand and observe the color at the zone of the
two fluids. Record your results in the table below.
3. Sakaguchi Test for Arginine
Scanned with CamScannerTo 5 ml. of gelatin solution, add 1 ml. of 10% NaOH and 1 ml. of 0.02%
alpha-naphthol solution. After 3 minutes, add 3 drops of sodium hypobromite
solution. A strong red color develops but fades quickly. The color can be
stabilized by adding urea to destroy the excess hypobromite, Write your result
in the table below. Repeat using Arginine
4. Lead Acetate Test for Labile Sulfur
To 2 ml. of 1% egg albumin in test, add 5 ml. of 5% NaOH solution and a few
crystals of lead acetate. Heat in a boiling water bat for 5-10 minutes, with
occasional mixing of the contents of the tube. Note the color change. Record
your result in the table below.
