In the xanthoproteic test, one mixes the sample first with con. HNO3, then with NH4OH. The first reaction is a color change to yellow, followed by further change to orange. This test depends on presence of tyrosine, which has a HO-C6H4- side chain. The phenol proup gets nitrated to nitrophenol (yellow), and the NH4OH reacts with HO- to give (-)O-C6H4-, which is orange.

The Heller ring test also uses nitric acid, but gives a white precipitated ring of denatured protein where the sample, usually urine, is carefully layered over the acid.
