Application

Glycine can be used as:
  • A reactant in the natural soil clay-catalyzed cleavage and polycondensation with pyrogallol.
  • A catalyst in the Knoevenagel reaction between aryl aldehydes and malononitrile to form a C=C bond.
  • A reagent in the metal-free synthesis of biaryls from aryl sulfoxides and sulfonanilides via sigmatropic rearrangement.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The clinical associations of glycine receptor antibodies have not yet been described fully. We identified prospectively 52 antibody-positive patients and collated their clinical features, investigations and immunotherapy responses. Serum glycine receptor antibody endpoint titres ranged from 1:20 to 1:60 000.
