[{"from": "human", "value": "Please give me some details about this molecule. [C][Branch1][=Branch1][C][=Branch1][C][=O][O][N]"}, {"from": "gpt", "value": "The molecule is a non-essential, non-polar, non-optical, glucogenic amino acid. Glycine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS, triggers chloride ion influx via ionotropic receptors, thereby creating an inhibitory post-synaptic potential. In contrast, this agent also acts as a co-agonist, along with glutamate, facilitating an excitatory potential at the glutaminergic N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors. Glycine is an important component and precursor for many macromolecules in the cells."}]
