Definition
N-carbamoylglycine, also known as glycoluric acid or hydantoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids. N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an carbamoyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. N-carbamoylglycine is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). N-carbamoylglycine can be found in a number of food items such as persimmon, summer savory, tarragon, and coriander, which makes N-carbamoylglycine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids. N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an carbamoyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom.
