Description
- 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
- This can be used as the first step in refolding proteins or enzymes into their active form
- Urea and dithiothreitol (DTT) may also be necessary
- Guanidine HCl is used in the isolation of RNA to dissociate the nucleoprotein into its nucleic acid and protein moieties
- It is an inhibitor of RNase
- Highly concentrated (6 - 8 M) Guanidine HCl solutions are used to denature native globular proteins
- It apparently disrupts hydrogen bonds which hold the protein in its unique structure; however, there also is evidence suggesting that guanidine hydrocholoride may disrupt hydrophobic interactions by promoting the solubility of hydrophobic residues in aqueous solutions
