5′-Guanylyl imidodiphosphate is a purine nucleotide. It is an analog of guanosine triphosphate in which one of the oxygen atoms is replaced with an amine producing a non-hydrolyzable functional group. Guanylyl imidodiphosphate binds tightly to G-proteins in the presence of Mg2+. Guanylyl imidodiphosphate is a potent stimulator of adenylate cyclase. It is often used in studies of protein synthesis.
