Biochem/physiol Actions

N,N-Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a natural N-methylated glycine that is used in comparative analysis with other N-methylated glycines such as sarcosine and βine. N,N-Dimethylglycine is used in the development of glycine-based ionic liquids and emulsifiers. N,N-Dimethylglycine is potentially useful as a biomarker of protein degradation in COPD patients. DMG is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize amino acid methyltransferase(s).

Dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (DMGDH) (E.C. number 1.5.99.2) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme involved in the metabolism of choline, converting dimethylglycine to sarcosine. Sarcosine is then transformed to glycine by sarcosine dehydrogenase (E.C. number 1.5.99.1). Both enzymes use flavin adenine dinucleotide and

The current study first investigates the emulsifying potential of glycine and its N-methylated derivatives N-methylglycine (sarcosine), N,N-dimethylglycine (DMG) and N,N,N-trimethylglycine (betaine) under varying pH conditions. Subsequently, the effect of these test compounds on the membrane integrity of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
