Guanidine hydrochloride AR 99.5% [50-01-1]

Guanidine hydrochloride AR 99.5% [50-01-1] Guanidine hydrochloride is used in RNA isolation to dissociate nucleoproteins and inhibit RNase. A powerful chaotropic agent useful for denaturation and subsequent protein refolding. This strong denaturant can dissolve insoluble or denatured proteins such as inclusion bodies. This can be used as a first step in refolding proteins or enzymes to their active form.
