About this document
Glycine: Properties and Buffering Role by Subhodeep Chanda is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Glycine is the simplest amino acid with the molecular formula C2H5NO2 and an isoelectric point of 5.97, where it exists as a zwitterion. It acts as an amphoteric buffer, capable of donating or accepting protons to maintain pH stability, particularly near its pKa values of 2.34 and 9.6. Buffer solutions resist pH changes and are prepared by mixing weak acids with their conjugate bases or vice versa.
