A guanidine group also appears in larger organic molecules, including on the side chain of arginine (a basic amino acid).

It is a colourless solid that dissolves in polar solvents. It is a strong base that is used in the production of plastics and explosives. It is found in urine as a normal product of protein metabolism.
