BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -From the structure of glycine, it can be concluded that it does not contain chiral centre.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, a compound can be chiral even though it has no chirality centres.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycine is the most simple amino acid. Glycine is the simplest amino acid. It’s sidechain (sometimes called the R-group) is one hydrogen atom. Because it has a hydrogen atom as its sidechain, glycine is the only achiral amino acid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycine (Gly, G) is the simplest of the 20 naturally-occurring amino acids. As noted above, since R is just a hydrogen, glycine is the only natural amino acid that is not chiral at the alpha carbon.
