Selectivity of Amino Acid Reactive Reagents and Latent Finger Mark Development

This research study explores the selectivity of amino acid reactive reagents (such as ninhydrin, lawsone, juglone, and genipin) in the development of latent finger marks. The study also examines the major amino acids present in fingerprints and their reactions with these reagents. The findings can be used for forensic investigation purposes.

  2. What is in a fingerprint? Major amino acids present in fingerprints L-Serine L-Glycine L-Alanine L-Asparticacid • Eccrinesecretion • Water (>98%) • Amino acids • Proteins • Urea • Uricacid • Lacticacid • Sugars • Inorganicions (Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca2+, etc.) • Sebaceous secretion • Fatty acids, • Glycerides, • Wax esters, • Squalene • Sterol esters
