Glycine is the structurally simplest member of the 20 amino acids. It is a non-essential amino acid for the human body. Its molecule contains both acidic and basic functional groups; it acts as a strong electrolyte in aqueous solutions, exhibits high solubility in strongly polar solvents, and is essentially insoluble in non-polar solvents. Furthermore, it has relatively high melting and boiling points. By adjusting the pH of an aqueous solution, glycine can be made to exist in different molecular forms.
Amino acids are organic acids containing an amino group and serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They appear as colorless crystals, possess high melting points (above 200°C), are soluble in water, exhibit amphoteric ionization, and produce a sensitive color reaction when treated with ninhydrin reagent.
