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，亮氨酸全都非极性的，这就何征服考试的秘诀啦！

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。

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，人体中有一种名叫甘氨酸的氨基酸，可抵消过量甲基组来的负面作用。

And glycine is the simplest of them all.

甘氨酸其中最简单的。

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

肌酸由其他两种体内的氨基酸合成，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.

的抑制性神经递质GABA和甘氨酸。

And so then I got thinking, Okay, that's I guess possible if you have more glycine and proline.

然后我就想， 好吧，我想果有更多的甘氨酸和脯氨酸的话， 这可能的。

Glycine is one of the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitters, meaning the signal it sends makes a neuron less likely to fire.

甘氨酸大脑的抑制性神经递质之一，这意味着它发出的信号使神经元不太可能被激活。

Most bats consumed blood that had one of two amino acids (either leucine or glycine) chemically labelled beforehand.

大多数蝙蝠食用的血液中含有预先经过化学标记的两种氨基酸（亮氨酸或甘氨酸）中的一种。

They have a very large amount of glycine.

它们含有大量的甘氨酸。

So why aren't we just suggesting that people take glycine instead of collagen?

那么为什么我们不建议人们服用甘氨酸而不胶原蛋白呢？

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最简单的生物以惊人的相似方式使用甘氨酸。

At least they've shown that glycine can go up in the plasma from taking it in.

至少他们已经证明，甘氨酸在血浆中的含量会因摄入而升高。

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酸的神经递质联系起来，因为脑干和脊髓中甘氨酸受体的浓度更高。

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

它们携的基因突变使得甘氨酸更难与受体结合并发出抑制信号。

So 33% of collagen is glycine.

因此，33% 的胶原蛋白甘氨酸。

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，果受到惊吓或碰撞，会得到神经激活的反应，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.

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