Guanidine hydrochloride consists of a network of guanidinium cations and chloride anions linked by N–H•••Cl hydrogen bonds, it is a strong chaotropic agent. Guanidine HCl may agglomerate upon storage. It may appear as a free-flowing crystalline powder, a free flowing powder…

* Strong chaotropic agent useful for the denaturation and subsequent refolding of proteins * Used in the isolation of RNA * Solubilizes insoluble or denatured proteins such as inclusion bodies * Can be used for the recovery of periplasmic proteins

A selection of strong chemicals to aid in the denaturation of proteins. Denaturants, or chaotropes, disrupt water interactions resulting in the solubilization of hydrophobic proteins and peptides. The chaotropes also act on all proteins to unfold them and alter their three-dimensional structure. …

Guanidine Hydrochloride is a strong chaotropic agent useful for the denaturation and subsequent refolding of proteins. This strong denaturant can solubilize insoluble or denatured proteins such as inclusion bodies and be used for the recovery of periplasmic proteins. This can be used as the first…
