The 23 pages that link to Glycine, each with the reason it gives.

• CollagenRelated: Its small size allows the tight packing required at every third position in collagen’s triple helix.

• GlutathioneRelated: Glycine completes glutathione’s three-residue structure.

• NMDA receptorRelated: It occupies a co-agonist site required for NMDA receptor activation.

• TetanusRelated: Tetanospasmin disrupts glycine signaling, removing restraint on motor neurons.

• AstrochemistryRelated: Its reported interstellar detection has prompted scrutiny of evidence for complex molecules in space.

• One-carbon metabolismRelated: Its degradation provides another route for feeding carbon into the folate pool.

• CreatineRelated: Glycine contributes atoms to the pathway that synthesizes creatine.

• Clostridium tetaniRelated: Tetanospasmin also blocks glycine release, contributing to sustained muscle contraction.

• Strecker degradationRelated: Strecker’s early experiments included glycine’s conversion into products such as formaldehyde.

• AllantoinRelated: Allantoin degradation pathways can produce glycine through intermediate reactions.

• Hippuric acidRelated: Its amino group couples with benzoyl-CoA during hippuric acid synthesis.

• Carbamic acidRelated: Glycine shares both functional groups but separates them across a carbon framework.

• StrychnineRelated: It is the transmitter whose receptor signaling strychnine interrupts.
