Q
  1. In the test for proteins, which structure in the proteins does the Biuret reagent reacts with?
A

The Biuret reagent reacts with the peptide bonds in proteins. Peptide bonds are the chemical links between amino acids that form the primary structure of a protein. When the Biuret reagent, which contains copper sulfate, interacts with these peptide bonds, it forms a violet-colored complex. This color change indicates the presence of proteins.

96
Q
  1. Which amino acid solutions resulted positive with the Ninhydrin Test? Explain.
A

all but proline will be yellow since it has a secondary amine group
