Organic Chemistry

• Acid Hydrolysis of Protein:

  Protein polymers are hydrolysed by water in the presence of hydrochloric acid, to amino acid monomers.

  Chromatography is used to separate the amino acids mixture

  Amino acids are sprayed with a locating agent to show them since they are colourless.

  The Rf value is determined to identify the amino acids.
