And all of those genes are related to glycine receptors.

所有这些基因都与甘氨酸受体有关。

Glycine, alanine, valine, leucine are all nonpolar assets and this is how you drop them in an exam.

甘氨酸，丙氨酸，缬氨酸，亮氨酸全都是非极性，这就是你如何征服考试秘诀啦！

When the SNARE proteins are cleaved, it prevents the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters like glycine and GABA.

一旦SNARE蛋白被破坏，甘氨酸和GABA等抑制性神经递质释放将会被阻断。

But, we have an amino acid called glycine that acts as a buffer for too many methyl groups.

但是，人体中有一种名叫甘氨酸氨基酸，可抵消过量甲基组带来负面作用。

And glycine is the simplest of them all.

甘氨酸是中最简单。

Creatine is a naturally occurring amino acid that our body itself makes from two other amino acids, arginine and glycine.

肌酸由他两种体内氨基酸合成，即精氨酸和甘氨酸。

It begins in the mitochondria where succinyl CoA binds to glycine via delta-ALA synthase to produce delta-aminolevulinic acid, or ALA.

反应开始于线粒体，琥珀酰CoA通过δ-ALA合成途径，结合甘氨酸以制造δ-氨基乙酰丙酸（ALA）。

The primary inhibitory neurotransmitters are GABA and glycine.

主要抑制性神经递质是GABA和甘氨酸。

But, we've found that some of the simplest organisms on earth use glycine in surprisingly similar ways.

但是，我们发现地球上一些最简单生物以惊人相似方式使用甘氨酸。

They carried mutations in those genes that made it harder for glycine to bind to receptors and send its inhibitory signal.

它们携带基因突变使得甘氨酸更难与受体结合并发出抑制信号。

This helped connect their symptoms to a neurotransmitter called glycine because we have a higher concentration of glycine receptors in the brainstem and spinal cord.

这有助于将他们症状与一种叫做甘氨酸神经递质联系起来，因为脑干和脊髓中甘氨酸受体浓度更高。

In your body, creatine is normally made in your liver, kidneys, and pancreas from parts of the amino acids glycine, arginine, and methionine.

在你体内，肌酸通常是由你肝脏、肾脏和胰腺中氨基酸甘氨酸、精氨酸和蛋氨酸组成。

For most people, if you're startled or bumped, you get a reaction of neural activation, and glycine tends to immediately shut it down.

对大多数人来说，如果你受到惊吓或碰撞，你会得到神经激活反应，甘氨酸往往会立即关闭它。

That's because glycine is one of only twenty amino acids essential to human life, and probably all life as we know it.

这是因为甘氨酸是人类生命必需 20 种氨基酸之一，可能是我们所知道所有生命必需。

And because there are glycine receptors that help signal to opposing muscle groups, it can help you control automatic reflexes from surprises or startles.

因为有甘氨酸受体帮助向相反肌肉群发出信号，它可以帮助你控制意外或惊吓自动反射。

That means it's possible that these early organisms first adapted sensors for glycine for this basic purpose of finding food.

这意味着这些早期生物可能首先适应了甘氨酸传感器，以达到寻找食物基本目。

If your glycine receptors aren't working right, the drug helps compensate by ramping up GABA instead, another inhibitory neurotransmitter helps make up the difference.

如果你甘氨酸受体不能正常工作，这种药物会通过增加 GABA 来弥补，而另一种抑制性神经递质会弥补这一差异。

Though process to create heme requires 8 enzymes and uses up the main protein for collagen, glycine, as well as vitamin B6, zinc and of course, iron.

然而，制造血红素过程需要8种酶，并消耗胶原蛋白、甘氨酸、维生素B6、锌，当然还有铁主要蛋白质。

To start, collagen, comprised mainly of the amino acids glycine and proline, is one of the most abundant protein in our bodies, allocating roughly 25% of our total protein mass.

首先，胶原蛋白主要由甘氨酸和脯氨酸组成，这是我们体内最丰富蛋白质之一，占我们总蛋白质总量25%。

And if you poke these little guys with some glycine, they can shrink down or move, sort of a parallel to motor reflex reactions that glycine supports in humans.

如果你用甘氨酸戳这些小东西，它们就会收缩或移动，有点类似于甘氨酸在人类中支持运动反射反应。
