Description

• General description: Glycine is a molecule with pI of 6.7, which is similar to the pH of stacking gel. It has advantage of low mobility, hydrophobicity and it does not associate with proteins.[1] Glycine is a component of Tris-glycine and Tris-glycine-SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) running buffers for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.[2] Glycine is also a component of Towbin′s transfer buffer for Western blots.[3]
• Application: Glycine has been used for the preparation of gelatin composites scaffold.[4] It has been used in the elution buffer to extract protein using HiTrap protein G column.[5] It has been used in the SDS-sample, running and transfer buffers prepared for SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and western blotting.[6]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Inhibitory neurotransmitter in spinal cord, allosteric regulator of NMDA receptors.
