Why protein solution turns purple when copper sulfate solution is added?

Copper sulfate solution provides cupric ions that react with the peptide bonds present in the protein molecule. The test is called as biuret test, as it was originally given by biuret compound.( when urea is heated it forms biuret). The reaction is due to the formation of complex between the cupric ions and lone pair of electrons present on the Nitrogen and Oxygen atoms of peptide bond.
