Glycine

The simplest amino acid, the most abundant one in collagen and an inhibitory neurotransmitter, especially in the spinal cord. It was discovered in 1820 by the French chemist Henri Braconnot, who obtained it by boiling gelatin with sulphuric acid. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?Its name comes from the Greek glykys, sweet, for its taste. In 2016 the Rosetta mission announced its first unambiguous detection at a comet, in the coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
