For detecting proteins a suitable reagent in the following isA. Iodine solutionB. Bromine waterC. Alkaline copper sulfate solutionD. A piece of paper

Answer»

The answer is C. Alkaline copper sulfate SOLUTION.

Proteins are composed of PEPTIDE bonds (in their primary structure).

When copper sulfate in alkaline condition reacts with the peptide bond of proteins, it produces a purple color CHANGE.

The test USED for detecting proteins is called the Biuret test.

Primarily, when conducting the Biuret test, the protein solution is HEATED to allow the peptide bonds to be exposed.
