Glycine is the most simple [[amino acid]]. It is a [[peptide]]. It's [[R-group]] is one hydrogen atom. Because it has a hydrogen atom as its R-group, glycine is the only achiral amino acid. Glycine has a high degree of rotational freedom and is frequently found in [[β-hairpin]] turns along with [[proline]]. | Glycine is the most simple [[amino acid]]. It is a [[peptide]].
