guanidine Protocols

Category: Chromatography Protocols: Liquid Chromatography Protocols

Protocol for desalting of peptides and protein mixtures by RP-HPLC techniques. The RP-HPLC technique can be used to "desalt" peptide or protein samples derived from extraction procedures, from chemical reactions such as reductive alkylation in the presence of urea or guanidine hydrochloride, citraconylation, iodination, or cyanogen bromide cleavage, or recovered from other chromatographic separation. - [Read Desalting of Peptides and Protein Mixtures by RP-HPLC Techniques Protocol]

Category: Chromatography Protocols: Immobilized Metal Ion Affinity Chromatography Protocols

Immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) is suitable for the purification of proteins under denaturing conditions.  Either guanidine-HCl or urea can be used, although guanidine-HCl is a stronger denaturant than urea.  Proteins that have been adsorbed to the column in the presence of guanidine-binding buffer may be washed with urea-binding buffer and eluted with urea elution buffer. - [Read Purification of Histidine-Tagged Proteins under Denaturing Conditions Using IMAC Protocol]
