Glycine is the simplest in structure among the 20 members of the amino acid series. Also known as amino acetic acid, it is a non-essential amino acid for the human body, containing both acidic and basic functional groups within the molecule. In water solutions, it acts as a strong electrolyte, exhibiting greater solubility in strong polar solvents and remaining basically insoluble in nonpolar solvents. Characterized by a high boiling point and melting point, Glycine can assume different molecular morphologies by adjusting the acidity and alkalinity in aqueous solutions. Glycine's side bond consists of a single hydrogen atom.
