Detailed explanation-1: -Background: Glycine is the smallest nonessential amino acid and has previously unrecognized neurotherapeutic effects.
Detailed explanation-2: -Background. Glycine is the smallest nonessential amino acid and has previously unrecognized neurotherapeutic effects.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is the simplest and smallest amino acid, with a hydrogen atom as a side chain-this means glycine is the only amino acid which does not have a chiral carbon atom, so it does not form stereoisomers therefore will not have L or D configurations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glycine: A small amino acid with big effects on the body & brain.
Detailed explanation-5: -The longest human protein is Titin with 34, 350 amino acids. The smallest human protein is 44 amino acids but it could be an abortive translation from the 5’ UTR of another mRNA. The smallest functional polypeptide is glutathione with only three amino acids.
