Guanidine is protonated in physiological conditions. This ] is called the '''guanidinium''' ], <sup>+</sup>. The guanidinium cation has a charge of ] and a ] of 12.5.

A laboratory method of producing guanidine is gentle (180-190&nbsp;°C) thermal decomposition of dry ] in anhydrous conditions:

The commercial route involves a two step process starting with the reaction of ] with ] salts. Via the intermediacy of ], this ] step affords salts of the guanidinium cation (see below).

Due to this, most guanidine derivatives are salts containing the conjugate acid.

===Biochemistry===
Guanidine exists protonated, as guanidinium, in solution at physiological pH.

] (also known as guanidine hydrochloride) has ] properties and is used to denature proteins. Guanidinium chloride is known to denature proteins with a linear relationship between concentration and ] of unfolding. In aqueous solutions containing 6&nbsp;] guanidinium chloride, almost all ] lose their entire ] and become ] peptide chains. ] is also used for its denaturing effect on various biological samples.

Recent studies suggest that guanidinium is produced by bacteria as a toxic byproduct. To alleviate the toxicity of guanidinium, bacteria have developed a class of transporters known as guanidinium exporters or Gdx proteins to expel the extra amounts of this ion to the outside of the cell.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Kermani AA, Macdonald CB, Gundepudi R, Stockbridge RB | title = Guanidinium export is the primal function of SMR family transporters | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 115 | issue = 12 | pages = 3060–3065 | date = March 2018 | pmid = 29507227 | pmc = 5866581 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.1719187115 | bibcode = 2018PNAS..115.3060K | doi-access = free }}</ref> Gdx proteins, are highly selective for guanidinium and mono-substituted guanidinyl compounds and share an overlapping set of non-canonical substrates with drug exporter EmrE.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Kermani AA, Macdonald CB, Burata OE, Ben Koff B, Koide A, Denbaum E, Koide S, Stockbridge RB | display-authors = 6 | title = The structural basis of promiscuity in small multidrug resistance transporters | journal = Nature Communications | volume = 11 | issue = 1 | pages = 6064 | date = November 2020 | pmid = 33247110 | doi = 10.1038/s41467-020-19820-8 | pmc = 7695847 | bibcode = 2020NatCo..11.6064K }}</ref>
