Description |
Glycine (abbreviated as Gly or G) is the amino acid which has hydrogen as its side chain. It is the smallest possible amino acid. The chemical formula of glycine is NH2‐CH2‐COOH. Glycine is one of the of proteinogenic amino acids. Its codons are GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG of the genetic code.
