Glycine

Glycine is an non-essential amino acid with no asymmetric carbon and major inhibitory neurotransmitter. It can fit into hydrophilic or hydrophobic environments, due to its minimal side chain of only one hydrogen atom. It contains heavy metals ≤ 20 ppm. It is commonly used as a component in Tris-glycine and Tris-glycine-SDS running buffers for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a component of Towbin's transfer buffer for Western blots, a buffer substance in cryoenzymology, in osmotic pressure maintenance in isoelectric focusing of erythrocytes, salting-in effect in protein chemistry, and as a buffer component in the coupled phosphatase-kinase reaction for end labelling of restriction fragments.
Glycine is a component of Tris-glycine and Tris-glycine-SDS running buffers for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glycine is also a component of Towbin's transfer buffer for Western blots.
