Why you will spray ninhydrin for analysis in chromatography?

Since amino acids are colourless compounds, ninhydrin is used for detecting them. To identify this, after development, the TLC plate is sprayed with ninhydrin reagent and dried in an oven, at 105°C for about 5 minutes. Ninhydrin reacts with α- amino acids that results in purple coloured spots [(due to the formation of the complex - Rheuman's purple).


What group in amino acids or proteins in general is responsible for the ninhydrin reaction?

It would be the amine group. In fact, ninhydrin will react with other amines, not necessarily those in proteins or amino acids. it reacts with free amines to produce blue-purple color and yellow in proline.


What functional group must be present for the ninhydrin test to work?

Ninhydrin works because it reacts with the amino acids left behind in a latent print. Ninhydrin has a polar carbonyl carbon with is electron deficient. It is attacked by the nucleophilic nitrogren on an amino acid, temporarily combining the ninhydrin and amino acid molecule. The structure is rearranged until the origionally attacked carbon is protonated and leaves in the form of water. This creates a schiff base when the nitrogen is double bonded to the origionally attacked carbon. This molecule rearranges again so that the nitrogen is double bonded to the adjacent carbon of the amino acid. This last rearrangement produces carbon dioxide gas. Further rearrangement of the product produces ruheman's purple.


Why proline amino acid gives yellow colour in reaction with ninhydrin?

Yes. Within "The Chemical Reactions of Amino Acids / Reactions of Amino Groups" there are several examples - one of which is the ninhydrin reaction. A very widely applied reaction of the alpha amino group [that is the N in the peptide bond -CCN-CCN-], it is used to estimate the quantity of amino acids [in a sample] in very small amounts. All amino acids and polypeptides with a free alpha group react with ninhydrin and yield [or produce] an intensely purple colored product - except for Proline and Hydroxyproline {both in which the alpha amino group is termed to be 'substituted' - something to do with carbon rings} which "yield derivatives with a characteristic yellow color." See also 'Schiff's bases'.


Why is ninhydrin used in amino analysis in TLC?

Ninhydrin is used in amino acid TLC because it readily stains amino acids by reacting with the amine groups. This reaction takes place very quickly and creates a brownish-color that can be easily visualized.


Why will ninhydrin cause blue-purple stains on skin?

I'd have described them as more of a yellowish-orange, myself. Ninhydrin reacts with amino acids. Amino acids are all over your skin. With most of them it forms a yellowish compound; with a couple it's more of the blue-purple you're describing.


What color will be produced by proline with ninhydrin?

When ammonia or primary and secondary amines are detected, a deep blue or purple color known as Ruhemann's purple is produced. Ninhydrin can also be used to monitor deprotection in solid phase peptide synthesis (Kaiser Test). The chain is linked via its C-terminus to the solid support, with the N-terminus extending off it. When that nitrogen is deprotected, a ninhydrin test yields blue. Amino-acid residues are attached with their N-terminus protected, so if the next residue has been successfully coupled onto the chain, the test gives a colorless or yellow result.


What substances are found on the human skin that react with ninhydrin resulting to stain or violet coloration on the skin?

Ninhydrin (2,2-dihydroxyindane-1,3-dione) is a substance intended to discover the existence of Ammonia or anything that contains Amines. When this substance reacts with these Amines a blue-purple stain will be observed. Since, the skin contains amino acid, a blue-purple stain will be noticed.

What are the science primary colours green yellow purple?

Primary colors red, blue, yellow. Purple is formed from combining red and blue. Green is formed by combining blue and yellow.
