What chemical reagent of protein?
Biuret reagent is used to test for protein in urine. It is a common test that students in biology class perform. Urine is added to a test tube, followed by approximately the same amount of Biuret reagent. If the solution turns lavender this means that there are proteins present in the urine.
Does biuret reagent corrosive and poison?
yes
Will glutamic acid give a positive biuret test?
Amino acids doesn't react with the biuret reagent.
How do you test for protein in food?
Use Biuret reagent.
What other types of analytical procedures detect the presence of proteins?
biuret reagent
What type of bio molecule is from reagents cooper ions and iodine-potassium?
what kind of bio molecule is this when mix with a benedicts reagent and biuret reagent
What is biuret reagent used for?
Biuret reagent detect peptide bonds.
What is the reagent used to test proteins?
Buiret Reagent

What reagent is used to detect protein in a solution?
biuret reagent
Does biuret reagent corrosive and poison?
yes
What might Biuret reagent test in a practical real life situation?
Biuret reagent test in a practical situation tests for lipids. Biuret is used in food agents for protein amino acid chains.
Will glutamic acid give a positive biuret test?
Amino acids doesn't react with the biuret reagent.
Test for protein in food?
The Biuret reagent can be used.
Why biuret regent react with single amino acid?
The biuret reagent should not react with a single amino acid. The reagent reacts when there is a peptide bond linking amino acids together. If you are seeing the biuret reagent react in the presence of a single amino acid, then there must be some amino acids that are still linked together.
Why does biuret reagent turn the skin brownish purple?
Biuret reagent react with the skin proteins.
If corn oil is tested with Benedicts's solution and Biuret reagent and the final color is blue what do you know about corn oil?
Benedict's solution tests for aldehyde which is present in reducing sugars. If the solution remained blue than no reducing sugar's are present in corn oil.
