Ninhydrin is most commonly used to detect fingerprints in forensic cases, as the terminal amines of lysine residues in peptides and proteins sloughed off in fingerprints react with ninhydrin. [2] [3] Ninhydrin is a white solid that is soluble in ethanol and acetone. [1] Ninhydrin can be considered as the hydrate of indane-1,2,3-trione.

The structure of the metal complex is usually misrepresented. It is an nitroso complex, with M-N bonds. [2] Proposed formation of nitrosophenol ligand in the early stages of the Millon test. The reagent is made by dissolving metallic mercury in nitric acid and diluting with water, forming mercuric nitrate (Hg[NO 3] 2). [3]

Frederick Sanger. In 1945, Frederick Sanger described its use for determining the N-terminal amino acid in polypeptide chains, in particular insulin. [4] Sanger's initial results suggested that insulin was a smaller molecule than previously estimated (molecular weight 12,000), and that it consisted of four chains (two ending in glycine and two ending in phenylalanine), with the chains cross ...
Indane-1,2,3-trione is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO) 3.The compound is the dehydrated derivative of C 6 H 4 (CO) 2 C(OH) 2, known as ninhydrin, which is used to reveal fingerprints.
Guthrie test (detects excessive amounts of specific amino acids in blood) The dried blood spot can be used for multianalyte testing using Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS). This given an indication for a disorder. The same has to be further confirmed by enzyme assays, IEX-Ninhydrin, GC/MS or DNA Testing.
Hawkinsin is ninhydrin positive (a common test to detect amino acids and proteins with a free -NH 2 group). It is found in elevated concentrations in the urine in hawkinsinuria, which is probably related to the depletion of glutathione and resulting high excretion of 5-oxoproline. [2]
