Answer:

Biuret reagent is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Biuret reagent is used to test the presence of the protein in a solution.

The biuret solution contains

  • Potassium hydroxide solution.
  • Hydrated Copper sulfate.
  • Potassium sodium tartrate.

Biuret reagent is a solution that is blue in color and when it reacts with protein the color gets a change to pink-purple due presence of several peptide bonds and when there is no protein present in the solution the color remains blue.

The biuret reaction takes place when the copper II ions placed in the solution as a cupric sulfate gets reduce to copper I ions due to the presence of peptide bonds and the color change is observed from blue to violet.

Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPT I) contains six cysteine residues that form three disulfide bonds in the native structu
vlabodo [156]

Answer and Explanation:

Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPT I) is a small globular protein and it inhibits the proteolytic enzymes like trypsin. BPTI is composed of ∝ helices, β sheets and 3 disulfide bonds. Due to these BPTI is a stable protein in its tertiary structure. It is almost inert to denaturation by urea and exhibits denaturation below 100 degree, only in highly acidic solutions. When all the disulfide bonds in BPTI are reduced, the protein is unfolded at room temperature and can reform three correct S-S pairings in native confirmation. if the 6 cysteine residues are reduced and unfolded in urea, the re-oxidation would yield 3 pairs with probability of first pair with 5, second pair with 3 and the third pair with 1 cysteine residues. Therefore, 5 x 3 x 1 = 15 combinations are possible accounting for 7% of protein refolding.
