And all of those genes are related to glycine receptors.

所有这些基因都与甘氨受体有关。

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

甘氨，丙氨，缬氨，亮氨全都非极性的，这就你如何征服考试的秘诀啦！

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，甘氨和GABA等抑制性神经递质的释放将会被阻断。

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

但，人体有一种名叫甘氨的氨基，可抵消过量甲基组带来的负面作用。

And glycine is the simplest of them all.

甘氨简单的。

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

肌由他两种体内的氨基合成，即精氨和甘氨。

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，结合甘氨以制造δ-氨基乙酰丙（ALA）。

The primary inhibitory neurotransmitters are GABA and glycine.

主要的抑制性神经递质GABA和甘氨。

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

但，我们发现地球上一些简单的生物以惊人的相似方式使用甘氨。

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

它们携带的基因突变使得甘氨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.

这有助于将他们的症状与一种叫做甘氨的神经递质联系起来，因为脑干和脊髓甘氨受体的浓度更高。

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

在你的体内，肌通常由你的肝脏、肾脏和胰腺的氨基甘氨、精氨和蛋氨组成的。

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，你会得到神经激活的反应，甘氨往往会立即关闭它。

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

这因为甘氨人类生命必需的 20 种氨基之一，可能我们所知道的所有生命必需的。

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

因为有甘氨受体帮助向相反的肌肉群发出信号，它可以帮助你控制意外或惊吓的自动反射。

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

这意味着这些早期的生物可能首先适应了甘氨的传感器，以达到寻找食物的基本目的。

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.

如果你的甘氨受体不能正常工作，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，制造血红素的过程需要8种酶，并消耗胶原蛋白、甘氨、维生素B6、锌，当然还有铁的主要蛋白质。

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和脯氨组成，这我们体内丰富的蛋白质之一，占我们总蛋白质总量的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.

如果你用甘氨戳这些小东西，它们就会收缩或移动，有点类似于甘氨在人类支持的运动反射反应。
