Observation and Inference
The inferences that can be drawn from the observation of the experiments are listed below:
- Biuret test: A bluish-violet color of the solution indicates the presence of proteins.
- Xanthoproteic test: The formation of yellow precipitate confirms the presence of proteins.
- Millon’s test: A brick-red color of the resultant solution confirms the presence of proteins.
- Ninhydrin test: A deep blue or purple color of the resultant mixture indicates the presence of proteins.
Protein and Test for Protein
Test for Protein deals with the details of protein including its structure, properties, classification, and function as well as the details of different tests to detect proteins in a sample. The identification test for protein explains the principle and theory of each test, along with the materials and apparatus required, the procedures, observation, inferences, and discussion of the results of the tests.
Protein is an important biomolecule that is made up of one or more amino acid chains. Plants and animals synthesize these biomolecules and obtain them by consuming the plants. In this article, we will look into the meaning, theory, procedure, observation, results, and precautions of tests for proteins.
