biolab midterms Flashcards
CH(NH2)COOH
Protein that consists of amino acids
(?) link to each other when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of another molecule.
Amino acids
Basic building blocks of enzymes, hormones, proteins, and body tissues.
Amino acids
compound consisting 2 or more amino acids.
Peptide
have 10 or fewer amino acids.
Oligopeptides
Peptides consisting more than 50 amino acids
Proteins
Used for quantitative photometrical determination of total protein concentration. (Intensity of color that is produced)
Biuret Test
Peptides and protein react with Cu2+ (Copper Iron) in alkalinity to create a (?)
blue violet color.
Peptides and protein react with (?) in alkalinity to create a blue violet color.
Cu2+ (Copper Iron)
Using (?) the aromatic rings of amino acids like tyrosine and tryptophan are nitrated.
65% Nitric Acid
Nitro derivates show intensely (?)
yellow color.
Biochemical test for the detection of amino acids containing aromatics
Xanthoproteic test
Used to detect presence of soluble proteins
Millon’s Test
Reddish-brown coloration or precipitate indicates the presence of tyrosine residue (Occurs in nearly all proteins)
Millon’s Test
Sulfur-containing amino acids when boiled converts into an inorganic sulfide (Na2S, Sodium Sulfide) - Reacts with lead acetate to form a (?) - Cysteine and Cystine give positive result to the sulfur test.
black precipitate of PbS (Phosphate-Buffered Saline)
(?) containing amino acids when boiled converts into an inorganic sulfide (Na2S, Sodium Sulfide) - Reacts with lead acetate to form a black precipitate of PbS (Phosphate-Buffered Saline) - Cysteine and Cystine give positive result to the sulfur test.
Sulfur
● Test for indole ring of tryptophan condensed with glyoxylic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid ● Forms violet-colored complex
Hopkins-Cole Test
When it reacts with Ninhydrin, a (?) complex is formed.
Test is given by ALL proteins
purple-blue
disruption and possible destruction of both the secondary and tertiary structure.
Denaturation of Protein
