Question

Please tell me an example of a protein structure that would give positive test with Molisch’s Reagent?

Answer 1

Answer:

positive reaction for Molisch's test is given by almost all carbohydrates (exceptions include tetroses & trioses). It can be noted that even some glycoproteins and nucleic acids give positive results for this test (since they tend to undergo hydrolysis when exposed to strong mineral acids and form monosaccharides).

Answer 2

Answer:

glycoproteins
