Dehydroglycine is the organic compound with the formula HNCHCO₂H. This rarely observed species is invoked as the product of oxidation (dehydrogenation) of glycine by glycine oxidase (ThiO), which is a step in the biosynthesis of thiamin.^[1] It is also invoked as a product of the radical SAM-induced fragmentation of tyrosine.^[2] It is an imino acid.
