Analysis Note

Tested for use in electrode buffers for PAGE and in transfer buffers for Western blots.

Application

Glycine has been used for the preparation of gelatin composites scaffold. It has been used in the elution buffer to extract protein using HiTrap protein G column. 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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibitory neurotransmitter in spinal cord, allosteric regulator of NMDA receptors.

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. Glycine is a component of Tris-glycine and Tris-glycine-SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) running buffers for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glycine is also a component of Towbin′s transfer buffer for Western blots.
