    The document discusses qualitative tests that can be used to identify different amino acids present in a protein sample and determine test results. It provides background information on what proteins are made of, their functions in living cells, and essential amino acids that humans must obtain through their diet. It also describes how color tests can be used to identify amino acids by reacting their R-groups with specific chemicals, but that multiple tests are needed to identify all amino acid components of a protein. The document concludes by thanking the listener.

    Qualitative Test

    for Proteins
    Objective/s:
    ● Identify diff. Amino acid constituent present in a protein
    sample and determine test results of protein.
    What are
    proteins?
    ● Proteins are large biomolecules and
    macromolecules that comprise one or more long
    chains of amino acid residues.
    It plays many critical roles in the body such as
    doing most of the work in cells and is necessary for
    structure, function, and regulation of the body’s
    tissues and organs.
    What are proteins made of?

    ● Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins.


    ● Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units
    called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long
    chains.
    ● The shape and other properties of each protein is dictated by the
    precise sequence of amino acids in it.
    ● There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to
    make a protein.
    What are its function in living
    cells?
    ● Motion and locomotion of cells and organisms depends on contractile proteins. (Example: muscles)
    ● The catalysis of all biochemical reactions is done by enzymes, which contain protein.
    ● The structure of cells, and the extracellular matrix in which they are embedded, is largely made of protein.
    (Plants and many microbes depend more on carbohydrates, e.g., cellulose, for support, but these are synthesized
    by enzymes. E.g. collagens)
    ● The transport of materials in body fluids depends of proteins.
    ● The receptors for hormones and other signaling molecules are proteins.
    ● Proteins are an essential nutrient for heterotrophs.
    ● The transcription factors that turn genes on and off to guide the differentiation of the cell and its later
    responsiveness to signals reaching it are proteins.
    “
    Humans must include adequate amounts of nine amino
    acids in their diet. These "essential" amino acids cannot
    be synthesized from other precursors. However,
    cysteine can partially meet the need for methionine
    (they both contain sulfur), and tyrosine can partially
    substitute for phenylalanine.
    Color Tests for
    Proteins

    Amino acids can be identified by the R-


    groups attached to the α-carbon that reacts
    with specific chemicals. However, since
    proteins contain various amino acids, one
    test will not be enough to identify the amino
    acids. It would be best to perform numerous
    tests before concluding the components of a
    protein.
