Study Notes
Sakaguchi Test
- Purpose: Detect and quantify the presence of guanidinium groups, specifically arginine
- Function of reagents:
- NaOH: Allows the reaction to occur by making the solution alkaline
- NaOCl: Oxidizing agent that reacts with napthol to produce a red complex product
- Napthol Solution: Condensation agent that forms a strong base with the hydroxide ion (OH-)
- Principle: Guanidin group (side chain of arginine) reacts with napthol to produce a red-colored complex product
- Result:
- Positive: Red-colored result indicates the presence of arginine or guanidine group
- Negative: Absence of red color indicates no arginine or guanidine group present
Ninhydrin Test
- Purpose: Detects ammonia, primary or secondary amines, or free-alpha amino group present in a compound
- Function of reagents:
- Water: Facilitates the connection of the amine group of the amino acid with Ninhydrin
- Ninhydrin solution: Acts as an oxidizing agent
- Principle: Decarboxylation and deamination lead to the liberation of aldehyde, CO2, NH3, and hydrindination (reduced form of ninhydrin)
- Result:
- Positive: Deep purple color indicates the presence of ammonia, primary/secondary amines, or amino acids
- Negative: No color change indicates the absence of ammonia, primary/secondary amines, or amino acids
Xanthoproteic Test
- Purpose: Detects amino acids containing phenolic or indolic groups (phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan)
- Function of reagents:
- Conc. HNO: Denatures protein, breaks peptide bonds, and initiates nitration reaction with aromatic rings
- NaOH: Neutralizes excess acid and facilitates color change in the solution
- Principle: Nitration of aromatic rings leads to the formation of nitro derivatives, producing a yellow-colored product
- Result:
- Positive: Yellow or orange-colored solution indicates the presence of aromatic groups in proteins and amino acids
- Negative: Absence of yellow or orange color indicates the absence of aromatic groups
