Glycine

La glycine (Gly ou G) stands as an α-amino acid and is one of the twenty-two proteinogenic amino acids. Its messenger RNA is encoded by the codons GGU, GGC, GGA, and GGG. Glycine represents the simplest of the α-amino acids, devoid of any asymmetric carbon atoms, with a van der Waals radius measuring 48 Å. Its non-chiral nature distinguishes it in the realm of protein amino acid production. With its minimal side chain comprising solely a hydrogen atom, it demonstrates adaptability to both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. Additionally, "Glycine" serves as the genus name for the soybean plant (species name: Glycine max).
