Glycine Molecule - 3D

Glycine is the amino acid with the formula HO2CCH2NH2. It is coded by codons GGU, GGC, GGA and GGG. Most proteins contain only small quantities of glycine. An exception is collagen, which contains about 35% glycine. (See the Collagen Molecule) Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, especially in the spinal cord, brainstem, and retina
