Glycine crystals. Polarized light micrograph of crystals of glycine,the simplest of the amino acids. Glycine is a neurotransmitter. It is important in metabolism because it contributes carbon atoms in the formation of the blood pigments. Glycine is also used in the synthesis of adenine and guanine,two of the nucleic acids.
