Top studies on Glycine

Ranked by influential-citation count and publication year.

  1. Structure and reaction mechanism of L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase.

    Biol Chem1997Review4 influential citations

    L-Arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AT) catalyzes the committed step in creatine biosynthesis by formation of guanidinoacetic acid, the direct precursor of creatine. The X-ray structure of the human enzyme shows a novel fold with…

  2. Effect of dietary glycine and betaine on productive performance, liver health, intestinal characteristics, and stress response in aged laying hens under heat stress conditions

    Animal Bioscience20261 influential citations

    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary glycine (Gly) and betaine (Bet) on productive performance, egg quality, liver health, intestinal characteristics, and stress response in aged laying hens under heat stress…

  3. Chromosome-level genome assembly of wild perennial soybean Glycine canescens

    Scientific Data20261 influential citations

    Genetic bottlenecks during domestication have led to low genetic diversity, which restricts soybean breeding. In contrast, perennial wild soybeans exhibit high genetic diversity, especially with excellent tolerance to biotic and abiotic…

  4. Zn glycine attenuates LPS-induced inflammatory bone loss in geese through suppression of osteoclastogenesis via reducing TLR-4/NFκB signaling

    Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety20261 influential citations

    Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, disrupts gut microbial homeostasis, compromises intestinal barrier integrity, and contributes to inflammation-associated…

  5. Glycine and glycine transport control dendritic excitability and spiking.

    Prog Neurobiol2026Study1 influential citations

    Neuronal dendrites integrate excitatory input. They can perform local computations such as coincidence detection by amplifying synchronized local input and dendritic spiking. Extracellular glycine could be a powerful modulator of such…

  6. Functional Analysis of a Novel Pathogenic Glycine Amidinotransferase Mutant in Hereditary Fanconi Syndrome

    Kidney Medicine2026

    The mutant glycine amidinotransferase (GATM) protein polymerizes into a characteristic crystal, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction in proximal tubules and Fanconi syndrome with progressive kidney failure. We identified a novel…

  7. Enhancing soybean (Glycine max L.) yield and quality through optimized weed-free periods and sowing techniques

    Frontiers in Plant Science2026

    Soybean ( Glycine max L.) yield is sensitive to early weed competition, yet optimal weed control timing and sowing methods remain unclear. Although early-season weed interference is widely recognized as detrimental, critical knowledge gaps…

  8. Salt-Free Glycine Electrosynthesis via Carbon–Nitrogen Coupling Boosted by the Lattice Strain in Atomically Thin <i>p</i> -Block Bismuthene

    ACS Nano2026

    Electrochemical carbon-nitrogen (C-N) coupling using simple inorganic feedstocks offers a sustainable route to valuable organonitrogen compounds such as amino acids. Herein, we present an atomically thin and acid-resistant <i>p</i>-block…

  9. Disaggregation of Colletotrichum truncatum by Peppermint Oil Nanoemulsion during Anthracnose Disease in Glycine max.

    Current microbiology2026E

    Soybean (Glycine max), a protein- and oil-rich crop, supplies approximately 80% of oil requirements globally. The crop is susceptible to a wide variety of phytopathogens, among them Colletotrichum truncatum (CT) causes pre- and…

  10. Variants in glycine decarboxylase activate catabolic mechanisms of mitochondrial energy metabolism in the brain.

    The Journal of biological chemistry2026E

    Brain energy metabolism is produced from glucose by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Variants in the mitochondrial enzyme glycine decarboxylase (GLDC) cause a rare neurological disease, non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH), with…
