Illustrates principles of protein and amino acid analysis.

Six experiments offer a wealth of scientific exploration and enable students to identify unknown compounds.

• Students experience working with proteins (albumin and gelatin) and amino acids (glutamic acid, glycine, cystine, cysteine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and arginine)
• Ninhydrin is used to detect presence of amines, indicating presence of amino acids and/or proteins
• Biuret test is used to detect presence of peptide bonds
• Specific analytical tests are used for determining presence of individual amino acids
• For grades 10 to 14
• Class size: 24 students
