This document discusses several chemical tests that can be used to identify the presence of proteins. It outlines tests involving reactions with copper sulfate, nitric acid, Millon's reagent, 1-naphthol, glyoxalic acid, lead acetate, and ninhydrin. These color-based tests detect proteins through reactions involving their constituent amino acids and functional groups like hydroxyl, sulfur-sulfur, sulfhydryl, carboxyl, and amino groups. The document emphasizes that many tests exploit the color changes produced by reactions between proteins and specific reagents.
