Guanidium unfolding

Hi all!

I am a novice with protein unfolding problems and am facing a strange
problem:

I wanted to unfold my protein with guanidium chloride.  As a test, I
added some protein (25 ug/ml) to 4 M guanidium in 20 mM tris ph 7.5.
When I meaured fluorescence, the native protein gave a good signal, so
did a small signal for the blank (buffer + 4 M guanidium).

However, on with the test (protein+ 4 M guanidium), I got a perfect
straight line at 0 intensity units. I wonder what's wrong?  Any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance for all help,

Bhupesh. 9-5-00.
