Notes 1. Arrive the lab on time. Preview the content of the experiment. 2. During the experiment, no unnecessary noise. 3. Pay attention to the safety of the experiment. Wear a lab coat. In case of danger, immediately cut off water, electricity, and fire, and report to the teacher. 4. Experiments are performed in groups, each contains 2 students. 5. Take care of your lab items. Do not turn on unused instruments. 6. Listen carefully before you begin. If you encounter unclear experimental steps, consult the teacher in time and carefully record the various phenomena and experimental results in the experiment. 7. After the experiment, be sure to wash and tidy up the glassware and instruments you have used. Your results of the experiment need to be approved by the teacher. Get permission before leaving. 8. Arrange the day students to clean the laboratory. 9. Submit the experiment E-report on time

Experiment 1 The main chemical properties of amino acids and proteins 1. Objective To experimentally verify the main chemical properties of amino acids and proteins, and enhance perceptual understanding. 2. Principles Both α-amino acids and proteins contain the α-amino acyl group structure, which allows them to react with ninhydrin in the presence of water to produce a blue-purple substance.

NinhydrintestprincipleThe amino group belonging to a free amino acid undergoes achemical reaction with ninhydrin, which behaves as an oxidizingagent. When exposed to ninhydrin, the amino acid undergoesoxidative deamination, resulting in the liberation of CO2, NH3, andan aldehyde along with hydrindantin (which is a reduced form ofninhydrin).Now, the ammonia goes on to react with another ninhydrinmolecule to form diketohydrin (which is also known as ruhemann'scomplex).ThiscomplexisresponsibleforthedeepbluecolorWhen the analyte contains imino-acids like proline, a yellowcolored complexisformed
Ninhydrin test principle The amino group belonging to a free amino acid undergoes a chemical reaction with ninhydrin, which behaves as an oxidizing agent. When exposed to ninhydrin, the amino acid undergoes oxidative deamination, resulting in the liberation of CO2 , NH3 , and an aldehyde along with hydrindantin (which is a reduced form of ninhydrin). Now, the ammonia goes on to react with another ninhydrin molecule to form diketohydrin (which is also known as ruhemann’s complex). This complex is responsible for the deep blue color. When the analyte contains imino-acids like proline, a yellow colored complex is formed. When asparagine is used, the color of the resulting complex is brown
