Product Information

• Name: Glycine sodium salt hydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Glycine is an amino acid that can be found in many proteins. It is a nonessential amino acid, meaning it can be synthesized by the human body. Glycine is also found in some other biologically important molecules, such as heparin and DNA. Glycine is an activator of glycogen phosphorylase and can be used to break down glycogen. Glycine has two tautomers, the zwitterion form and the enol form. The zwitterion form predominates at neutral pH values, while the enol form predominates at acidic pH values. Syncytial virus infection can be treated with glycine by using a photocatalytic process to destroy viruses that are not susceptible to traditional treatments like antibiotics or antiviral drugs. The virus-destroying ability of glycine may be due to its ability to act as a solute for both positive and negative ions. This ability allows for a constant concentration of glyc
