As we all know, guanidine hydrochloride is often used as an intermediate in medicines, pesticides, dyes and other organic compounds, it is also an important raw material for sulfonamides and folic acid; it can be used as a strong denaturants in the extraction of total RNA from cells. At the same time, guanidine hydrochloride is often used in various buffers for biological experiments. Let us take a look at the following recipes.
1. Guanidine Hydrochloride (GuHCl) Buffer
-
6 M guanidine hydrochloride
-
8 mM imidazole
-
50 mM NaH2PO4
-
50 mM Tris
Adjust pH to 8.0. Prepare within a few days of the experiment and store at room temperature (20~25°C).
2. Denaturing buffer containing guanidine hydrochloride
-
6 M Guanidine hydrochloride
-
5 mM DTT
-
50 mM Tris-Cl (pH 7.5)
Warm the solution to 40ºC to dissolve the guanidine HCl. Adjust the pH to 7.5 if necessary.
3. Hydroxylamine cleavage buffer
Final concentrations: 2M hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 4.3M guanidine hydrochloride, 0.2 M potassium carbonate (pH 9.0)
-
Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (Analar grade)
-
Guanidine hydrochloride (6 M aqueous), prechilled
-
Potassium carbonate (1 M)
-
NaOH (50% w/v)
Dissolve 3.5g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 12mL of prechilled 6M aqueous guanidine hydrochloride (use an ice bath). Add 2mL of 50% (w/v) NaOH slowly with vigorous stirring (magnetic stir bar) by 5mL of 1M potassium carbonate. Adjust the pH to 9.0 with 50% NaOH, and then adjust the volume to 25 ml with 6 M guanidine hydrochloride.
The inclusion of guanidine hydrochloride is reported to improve the efficiency of Asn-Gly cleavage.
4. Solubilization buffer
-
8 M guanidine hydrochloride
-
50 mM Tris-Cl (pH 7.5)
or
-
10 mM DTT (dithiothreitol)
-
8 M guanidine hydrochloride
-
50 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.5)
5. Denaturing buffer for Ellman’s test
-
Guanidine hydrochloride (6 M)
-
Na2HPO4 (0.1 M, pH 8.0)
6. SEC column buffers
-
50 mM Sodium phosphate, containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.0)
-
Denaturing buffer containing urea
-
Denaturing buffer containing guanidine hydrochloride
-
Peptide elution buffers
