Glycine CAS#56-40-6

Glycine CAS#56-40-6

Smallest and Simplest Amino Acid Structure: Glycine has the smallest molecular size among all proteinogenic amino acids, allowing it to fit easily into tight spaces within protein structures and contribute to molecular flexibility.


Excellent Compatibility with Diverse Environments: Due to its minimal side chain consisting of only one hydrogen atom, glycine can adapt well to both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments, enhancing its versatility in biological and industrial applications.


Non-Chiral and Structurally Unique: Unlike most amino acids, glycine is not chiral, giving it distinctive chemical and biological behavior that is valuable in protein synthesis and formulation stability.


High Purity, Mild Taste, and Broad Applicability: As a colorless, sweet-tasting crystalline solid, glycine is suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical, and biochemical applications where purity, safety, and neutral sensory properties are important.

product description

Products Description of Glycine CAS#56-40-6

Glycine (Gly/G, NH₂CH₂COOH) is the smallest proteinogenic amino acid, encoded by four codons (GGU/GGC/GGA/GGG). A non-chiral, sweet-tasting colorless crystal, it functions in both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. Glycine is also the genus name for soybeans (Glycine max).


Product Applications of Glycine CAS#56-40-6

U.S. glycine is mainly sold as USP grade (80–85% market share) and technical grade. A higher-purity pharmaceutical grade exists for intravenous applications, exceeding USP standards and priced at a premium.

FAQ

1. Why Supply Chain Transparency Matters in Global Chemical Procurement
Chemical buyers evaluate more than price and delivery time. Clear specifications, matching batch documents, consistent packaging information, and traceable logistics all affect customs clearance, warehouse inspection, and production use.
When selecting a supplier, buyers should review how the company confirms specifications, manages documents, handles changes, and responds to problems. Transparent processes help reduce order risks and improve long-term procurement reliability.


2. Seven Essential Details for a Chemical Product Inquiry
A product name alone is often insufficient for an accurate quotation. Buyers should provide the product name and CAS number, key specifications or purity, final application, required quantity, packaging requirements, destination, and expected delivery time or preferred Incoterms.
If COA, SDS, TDS, special labels, certifications, or registration documents are required, these details should also be included in the initial inquiry. Complete information helps suppliers confirm product, logistics, and documentation conditions more efficiently.


3. What Are the Differences Between COA, SDS, and TDS?
A COA is a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis showing test items, required ranges, and actual results. It is mainly used for quality verification and incoming inspection.
An SDS provides safety, handling, storage, emergency, and transportation information. A TDS describes typical product properties, technical parameters, and application guidance. Buyers should confirm the required document version, language, and applicable standards before placing an order.


4. Key Conditions to Confirm Before International Chemical Transportation
Before shipment, confirm the product identity, physical form, transport classification, and applicable regulations. An SDS is an important reference, but the final shipping arrangement must also meet regulatory and carrier requirements.
Packaging, sealing, moisture protection, palletizing, labels, ports, documents, Incoterms, and transport schedules should be clearly confirmed. Early verification helps prevent delays caused by carrier restrictions or incomplete documentation.


5. How to Evaluate Chemical Product Sample Test Results
Sample evaluation should consider both product compliance and application performance. Laboratory results do not always guarantee the same performance in every formulation or production process.
Before testing, record the sample batch, COA, storage condition, and sampling method. During application tests, keep consistent records of formulation, dosage, process conditions, and results. After approval, reconfirm the formal order specifications, inspection method, packaging, and batch documents.
