General description
Guanidine thiocyanate is chaotropic salts which lyse cells and along with nuclease binding matrix it is also seen to inhibit nuclease activity during extraction of DNA. It works as a strong RNase inhibitor in extraction buffers.
Application
Suitable as denaturing agent for proteins. Guanidine thiocyanate is a stronger denaturant than guanidine hydrochloride.
Chaotropic agent and strong denaturant; solubilizes cells.
