Glycine (symbol Gly or G; [6] / ˈ ɡ l aɪ s iː n / ⓘ) [7] is an amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is the simplest stable amino acid ( carbamic acid is unstable). In the gas phase, it is a molecule with the chemical formula NH 2 ‐ CH 2 ‐ COOH .
Glycine has a chemical formula C 2 H 5 NO 2. It is the smallest of all the amino acids and consists of a side chain along with a hydrogen molecule as shown in the figure below. Glycine was isolated in the year 1820 from a substance called gelatin.
Chemical Structure of Glycine. Identifiers and properties of Glycine. IUPAC Name: 2-Aminoacetic acid. Symbol: Three-letter code - Gly. One-letter code - G. Molecular Weight (Molar Mass): 75.0666 g/mol. Molecular Formula (Structural Formula): C2H5NO2. Canonical SMILES: C (C (=O)O)N. Isomeric SMILES: C (CC (=O)N) [C@@H] (C (=O)O)N.
Glycine (Gly/G) is the amino acid with the shortest side chain, having an R-group consistent only of a single hydrogen. As a result, glycine is the only amino acid that is not chiral. Its small side chain allows it to readily fit into both hydrophobic and hydrophilic environments.
