Question

write zwitter ion structure of glycine​

Answer 1

Answer: CHEBI:57305 - glycine zwitterion An amino acid zwitterion arising from transfer of a proton from the carboxy to the amino group of glycine.

Answer 2

The zwitter ion structure of glycine is NH₃⁺CH₂COO⁻

• Glycine  (NH₂CH₂COOH) is an amino acid

• It has an amino group (NH2) and an acid group (COOH)

• The hydrogen from acid group tranfers to the amino group in the structure of glycine

• This internal transfer of hydrogen creates positive and negative charges on the glyicine which is termed as Zwitter ion

• After transfer of the hydrogen the structure of zwitter ion is NH₃⁺CH₂COO⁻
