Glycine
Glycine (abbreviated Gly) is also known as amino-acetic acid. Its chemical formula is C2H5NO2, which is white solid at room temperature and pressure. It is an amino acid that has the simplest structure in the series of amino acids and is not necessary for human body.
Glycine is a kind of non-essential amino acids for human body.Name abbreviations: Gly is the simplest amino acid series structure,the body is not required an amino acid, both acidic and basic functional groups in the molecule, can be ionized in the water, has a strong hydrophilic, belong to the polar amino acid, soluble in polar solvent, and difficult to soluble in nonpolar solvent, and has high boiling point and melting point, through the regulation of acid and alkaline aqueous solution, can make the glycine presents different molecular forms.
1.Food
As biochemical reagent,glycine is used in medicine, feed and food additives, nitrogen fertilizer industry as non-toxic decarbonizing agent.Nutritional supplements.Mainly used for seasoning and other aspects.
2.Medicine
For the study of metabolism of medical microorganisms and biochemical amino acids.
Glycine is used as the synthesis raw material of aureomycin buffer, anti-parkinson's drug l-dopa, vitamin B6\ and threonine.Treatment of myasthenia gravis and progressive muscular atrophy.
3.Agricultural
Glycine is mainly used as an additive and attractant to increase amino acid in feed for poultry, livestock and poultry, especially for pets.As an additive of hydrolyzed protein and as a synergistic agent of hydrolyzed protein.Glyphosate hydrochloride, the intermediate of pyrethroid insecticide, is used in pesticide production.
4.Industrial
Electroplating bath additive.
Used in pharmaceutical industry, biochemical test and organic synthesis.
Glycine is used as raw material of cephalosporin, intermediate of methylsulfoxycin, intermediate of synthetic imidazole acetic acid, etc.Used as cosmetic material.
