Heller's test is a chemical test that shows that strong acids cause the denaturation of precipitated proteins.
Concentrated nitric acid is added to a protein solution from the side of the test tube to form two layers.
A white ring appears between the two layers if the test is positive.
[2] This test was discovered by the Austrian Chemist, Johann Florian Heller (1813-1871).
