TLDR
In this article, a spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of proteins and total amino acids in mixtures is described, based on the observation that the products of the reaction between p -benzoquinone (PBQ) and proteins show an absorbance band at about 350 nm, whereas for most of the essential amino acids the absorbance bands are at about 440 nm.
