Overview

Guanidinium is a cationic group and functional group with the formula C(NH₂)₃⁺. It is found in guanidine, a strong organic base. Guanidinium salts are typically used in laboratories as protein denaturants due to their ability to disrupt the non-covalent interactions that stabilize protein structure. Guanidine hydrochloride is a common example, often used in protein purification protocols.
