Glycine CAS#56-40-6

Glycine CAS#56-40-6

Basic Information

Smallest and Simplest Amino Acid Structure: Glycine has the smallest molecular size among all proteinogenic amino acids, allowing it to fit easily into tight spaces within protein structures and contribute to molecular flexibility.


Excellent Compatibility with Diverse Environments: Due to its minimal side chain consisting of only one hydrogen atom, glycine can adapt well to both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments, enhancing its versatility in biological and industrial applications.


Non-Chiral and Structurally Unique: Unlike most amino acids, glycine is not chiral, giving it distinctive chemical and biological behavior that is valuable in protein synthesis and formulation stability.


High Purity, Mild Taste, and Broad Applicability: As a colorless, sweet-tasting crystalline solid, glycine is suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical, and biochemical applications where purity, safety, and neutral sensory properties are important.

product description

Products Description of Glycine CAS#56-40-6

Glycine (Gly/G, NH₂CH₂COOH) is the smallest proteinogenic amino acid, encoded by four codons (GGU/GGC/GGA/GGG). A non-chiral, sweet-tasting colorless crystal, it functions in both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. Glycine is also the genus name for soybeans (Glycine max).


Product Applications of Glycine CAS#56-40-6

U.S. glycine is mainly sold as USP grade (80–85% market share) and technical grade. A higher-purity pharmaceutical grade exists for intravenous applications, exceeding USP standards and priced at a premium.
