An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Glycine (GLY or G) is considered hydrophobic in Foldit. Glycine is unique in having no sidechain. The lack of a sidechain makes glycine the most flexible amino acid. Glycine is rarely found in a helix, as it tends to bend too freely and therefore it deforms the helix. It is commonly found in u-turns. In the Foldit Lua interface, the functions structure.GetAminoAcid and structure.SetAminoAcid use lowercase "g" for glycine.

  • Glycine is a nonessential amino acid. Glycine is essential for a healthy, normally functioning digestive system. It helps regulate the synthesis of the bile acid used to digest fats. It is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, especially in the spinal cord, brainstem, and retina.
