glycine-1-13C

Description:
Glycine-1-^13C is a stable isotope-labeled form of glycine, the simplest amino acid, which is characterized by its non-polar side chain and is classified as a building block of proteins. The "1-^13C" designation indicates that the carbon atom at the first position of the glycine molecule is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope, which is a non-radioactive isotope of carbon. This modification allows for enhanced tracking and analysis in various biochemical and metabolic studies, particularly in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Glycine itself is known for its role in protein synthesis, neurotransmission, and as a precursor for various biomolecules. The presence of the ^13C isotope does not significantly alter the chemical properties of glycine, such as its solubility in water or its zwitterionic form at physiological pH. Glycine-1-^13C is utilized in research applications, including metabolic flux analysis and studies of protein dynamics, providing insights into metabolic pathways and cellular processes.
