Meaning of "xanthoproteic" in English

The term "xanthoproteic" refers to a chemical reaction primarily related to proteins that results in a yellow-colored compound. It is most commonly associated with the xanthoproteic test, which involves treating proteins with concentrated nitric acid, leading to a color change indicative of aromatic amino acids like tyrosine. This yellow coloration is due to the reaction of nitric acid with the protein's aromatic rings, forming nitro derivatives. This reaction is used in biochemical analysis, highlighting the presence of specific protein structures within a sample.

Meaning of "xanthoprotéique" in French

"Xanthoprotéique" describes a chemical reaction similar to the xanthoproteic test in English. It refers to an interaction where proteins change color to yellow upon exposure to concentrated nitric acid. This reaction occurs due to the nitration of aromatic amino acids such as tyrosine. It is used in chemical analyses to detect specific protein structures. The yellow color indicates the presence of certain aromatic amino acids within a protein sample, providing insight into its composition and characteristics.
