Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Qualitative tests are the primary assays for detecting the presence of any protein in a given sample. Qualitative detection of proteins is based on the chemical interactions between amino acids and certain chemical reagents added to them. These chemical reactions yield colour formation, which corresponds to specific amino acid or a group of amino acids present in the sample. In this chapter, some of such most important assays for qualitative analysis are discussed in detail.
