| 1. | Ninhydrin is also used in amino acid analysis of proteins.
|
| 2. | When ninhydrin reacts with amino acids, the reaction also releases CO 2.
|
| 3. | In the same year, Ruhemann observed ninhydrin's reaction with amino acids.
|
| 4. | Another area of research has been ninhydrin analogs.
|
| 5. | Most of the amino acids, except proline, are hydrolyzed and react with ninhydrin.
|
| 6. | Ninhydrin can be considered as the hydrate of indane-1, 2, 3-trione.
|
| 7. | Ninhydrin was discovered in 1910 by the German-English chemist Siegfried Ruhemann ( 1859 1943 ).
|
| 8. | In 1954, Swedish investigators Oden and von Hofsten proposed that ninhydrin could be used to develop latent fingerprints.
|
| 9. | After chromatogram has been taken out of the solvent the chromatogram is then treated with ninhydrin to locate the spots.
|
| 10. | The older Ninhydrin method which is a liquid that is sprayed on paper to detect latent prints on paper is similar.
