At high concentrations of guanidinium chloride (e.g., 6 M), proteins lose their ordered structure, and they tend to become randomly coiled, i.e. they do not contain any residual structure. However, at concentrations in the millimolar range in vivo, guanidinium chloride has been shown to "cure" prion positive yeast cells (i.e. cells exhibiting a ...
The general structure of a guanidine. Guanidines are a group of organic compounds sharing a common functional group with the general structure (R 1 R 2 N)(R 3 R 4 N)C=N−R 5. The central bond within this group is that of an imine, and the group is related structurally to amidines and ureas.
The guanidine group in arginine is the precursor for the biosynthesis of nitric oxide. [3] Like all amino acids, it is a white, water-soluble solid. The one-letter symbol R was assigned to arginine for its phonetic similarity.

This method relies on phase separation by centrifugation of a mixture of the aqueous sample and a solution containing water-saturated phenol and chloroform, resulting in an upper aqueous phase and a lower organic phase (mainly phenol).
In order to separate DNA through silica adsorption, a sample is first lysed, releasing proteins, DNA, phospholipids, etc. from the cells.The remaining tissue is discarded.
A chaotropic agent is a substance which disrupts the structure of, and denatures, macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids (e.g. DNA and RNA).Chaotropic solutes increase the entropy of the system by interfering with intermolecular interactions mediated by non-covalent forces such as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic effects.
In the 1920s, guanidine compounds were discovered in Galega extracts. Animal studies showed that these compounds lowered blood glucose levels. Some less toxic derivatives, synthalin A and synthalin B, were used for diabetes treatment, but after the discovery of insulin, their use declined.
