Product Description

Desription: Guanidine hydrochloride, the crystalline compound of strong alkalinity formed by the oxidation of guanine, is a normal product of protein metabolism and a protein denaturant. Target: Others Guanidine hydrochloride is the most popular protein denaturant. Analysis of unfolding transitions by Guanidine hydrochloride provides several important parameters regarding the mechanism of conformational stability of proteins. Guanidine hydrochloride at low concentrations refolds acid-unfolds apomyoglobin and cytochrome c, stabilizing the molten globule state. Guanidine hydrochloride (> 1 M) causes co-operative unfolding of the molten globule state [1]. Guanidine hydrochloride at millimolar concentrations, is able to causes efficient loss of the normally stable [PSI+] element from yeast cells. 5 mM Guanidine hydrochloride in growth media cures [PSI+] and other prions of yeast. 5 mM Guanidine hydrochloride significantly reduces Hsp104-mediated basal and acquired thermotolerance by 30-fold and 50 fold, respectively. Guanidine hydrochloride also reduces the ability of Hsp104 to restore activity of thermally denatured luciferase [2].

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Low doses of guanidine hydrochloride stabilize the molten globule state, which is a compact denatured state with a significant quantity of secondary structure but a highly disordered tertiary structure, by refolding acid-unfolded apomyoglobin and cytochrome c. Melting globule state cooperatively unfolds when exposed to guanidine hydrochloride (> 1 M)[1]. Guanidine hydrochloride has little effect on the disulfide bonds, which maintain a significant degree of ordered structure[2]. At millimolar quantities, guanidine hydrochloride can effectively cause yeast cells to lose the typically stable [PSI+] element. In growth media, 5 mM guanidine hydrochloride cures [PSI+] and other yeast prions. Hsp104-mediated baseline and acquired thermotolerance are markedly reduced by 5 mM guanidine hydrochloride, by 30 and 50 fold, respectively. The capacity of Hsp104 to reinstate the activity of thermally denatured luciferase is likewise diminished by guanidine hydrochloride[3].
ln Vivo
substantial reduction in the death rate of baby mice infected with ten LD50) of coxsackievirus A16 is found when they are treated 58 h after infection with two injections of Guanidine hydrochloride at 145 mg/kg per injection[4].

Additional Infomation
Guanidine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of guanidine, a strong basic compound with parasympathomimetic activity. Guanidine hydrochloride enhances the release of acetylcholine following a nerve impulse and potentiates acetylcholine actions on muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. It also appears to slow the rates of depolarization and repolarization of muscle cell membranes. (NCI05)
A strong organic base existing primarily as guanidium ions at physiological pH. It is found in the urine as a normal product of protein metabolism. It is also used in laboratory research as a protein denaturant. (From Martindale, the Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed and Merck Index, 12th ed) It is also used in the treatment of myasthenia and as a fluorescent probe in HPLC.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
