The Acree–Rosenheim reaction is a chemical test used for detecting the presence of tryptophan in proteins. A protein mixture is mixed with formaldehyde. Concentrated sulfuric acid is added to form two layers. A purple ring appears between the two layers if the test is positive for tryptophan. [1] [2] [3]
The reaction is named after Carl Mannich. [2] [3] Scheme 1 – Ammonia or an amine reacts with formaldehyde and an alpha acidic proton of a carbonyl compound to a beta amino carbonyl compound. The Mannich reaction starts with the nucleophilic addition of an amine to a carbonyl group followed by dehydration to the Schiff base.
The Adamkiewicz reaction is part of a biochemical test used to detect the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in proteins. When concentrated sulfuric acid is combined with a solution of protein and glyoxylic acid, a red/purple colour is produced. It was named after its discoverer, Albert Wojciech Adamkiewicz.
The Sørensen formol titration(SFT) invented by S. P. L. Sørensen in 1907 [1] is a titration of an amino acid with potassium hydroxide in the presence of formaldehyde. [2] It is used in the determination of protein content in samples. [3] Formol titration equation for amino acids in general
In enzymology, a formaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction formaldehyde + NAD + + H 2 O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } formate + NADH + H + The 3 substrates of this enzyme are formaldehyde , NAD + , and H 2 O , whereas its 3 products are formate , NADH , and H + .
In enzymology, a mycothiol-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.306) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction formaldehyde + mycothiol + NAD + ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } S-formylmycothiol + NADH + 2 H +

In this example, the labelling is applied by reductive dimethylation of the primary amines using either heavy (d(2)C13)-formaldehyde for the treated samples or light (d(O)C12)-formaldehyde for the controls. This reaction is catalyzed by sodium cyanoborohydride and attaches the labeled methyl groups to lysine-amines and the free (∝)- amino ...
