Question

The chemical structure of glycine C2H5NO2 is shown below. Highlight each atom that is in an amino group.

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycine is a non-essential, non-polar, non-optical, glucogenic amino acid. Glycine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS, triggers chloride ion influx via ionotropic receptors, thereby creating an inhibitory post-synaptic potential. In contrast, this agent also acts as a co-agonist, along with glutamate, facilitating an excitatory potential at the glutaminergic N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors

Answer 2

Glycine is a very unique amino acid in that in contains a hydrogen as its side chain (rather than a carbon as is the case in all other amino acids). This means that there is much more conformational flexibility in glycine.
