Breaking down polypeptides and proteins into amino acids: Needs: acid or enzyme Hydrolysis reaction: reaction with water in which O-H bond breaks © www.chemsheets.co.uk A2 1103 22-July-2016
Amino acids be analysed by TLC (can be stained using ninhydrin)
or view results under UV light
Rf values can identify amino acids solvent front Rf values can identify amino acids 5 cm For substance R Rf = 3 = 0.6 5 For substance S Rf = 4 = 0.8 4 cm 3 cm starting line R S © www.chemsheets.co.uk A2 1095 17-Jul-16
