The biuret test is a chemical test used for detecting the presence of peptide bonds. In a positive test, a copper(II) ion is reduced to copper(I), which forms a complex with the nitrogens and carbons of the peptide bonds in an alkaline solution. A violet color indicates the presence of proteins.
It is possible to use the Biuret reaction to determine the concentration of proteins because (for most proteins) peptide bonds occur with approximately the same frequency per gram of material. The intensity of the color, and hence the absorption at 540 nm, is directly proportional to the protein concentration, according to the Beer-Lambert law.

What color will a peptide bond be after using the Biuret test?
in biuret test the presence of peptide bonds gives a violet color. but it should be noted that a minimum of two peptide bonds should be present in the protein to get a positive answer to this test.
Detect peptide bond?
by conducting the biuret test. the positive result of biuret test will give you the purple blue ring on top of the solution.(albumen/milk + cuso4 +NaOH)
How does biuret solution test for protein?
Proteins are made of peptide bonds which is the target of reaction for biuret test. It's not truly specific for proteins; biuret itself also gives a positive result (hence the name of the test). However, proteins are fairly common and biuret (and similar peptide-containing compounds) are relatively rare.
How may peptide bonds in glycine?
quite not sure. but i think. glycine does not have any peptide bond because in biuret test which is intended only for amino acids with 2 or more peptide bonds showed negative result.
How many chemical grouping must be present in a molecule to give a positive Biuret Test?
You must have at least two, those that will form the peptide linkage (NH2 and COOH) since Biuret test is for detecting peptide linkages.
Does phenol give a positive biuret test?
No. The Biuret test only gives a positive result if a peptide bond exists. Phenol doesn't have a peptide bond, so it will not give a positive test.
What color will a peptide bond be after using the Biuret test?
in biuret test the presence of peptide bonds gives a violet color. but it should be noted that a minimum of two peptide bonds should be present in the protein to get a positive answer to this test.
When using Biuret reagent what indicates the presence of proteins?
Biuret solution turns a shade of purple if proteins are present. Specifically, it turns a shade of purple if peptide bonds are present. A peptide bond is the bond formed between amino acids.
What is the color of biruet solution?
The biuret solution used in the biuret test for peptide bonds is blue in the absence of peptide bonds or biuret which also results in a positive result. A positive result for peptide bonds or biuret is apparent as the biuret solution turns purple/violet in color.
Would albumin give a positive biuret test?
Hey. okay.. the biuret test is a test for peptide bonds. when CuSO4 is added to KOH, an alkaline solution, nitrogen atoms from the peptide bond forms a purple compound with the Cu2+ ions. hope this helps! read it in a text book.

How many of these chemical groupings must be present in a molecule to give a positive biuret test?
you should have at least 2 of these,to obtain a positive result in Biuret's test. because biuret test is a test used to detect if there is peptide linkages.
What is the function of copper sulphate solution in biuret test?
It cuts/breaks the peptide bonds.
What are the biuret test results for egg albumin?
Yes. The Biuret test is a test for the presence of peptide bonds. Since albumin is a class of protein, and proteins are composed of many amino acids joined together by peptide bonds, the test will yield a positive result.
