- 2008, Georg-Wilhelm Oetjen, Peter Haseley, Freeze-Drying, page 23:
  Glycin immersed in LN₂ formed an amorphous product. Upon heating to –65 °C an unidentified crystalline phase of glycin was observed, which transformed at ≈ 55 °C to 2-glycin.
- 2011, Elizabeth Allen, Sophie Triantaphillidou, The Manual of Photography, page 257:
  Glycin developers are non-staining and have exceptionally good keeping properties, but are too slow in action for general use.
Misspelling of glycine.
- 2007, Katalin Köves, Andrea Heinzlmann, “Chapter 1: Neurotransmitters and Neuropeptides in Autism”, in Barbara S. Mesmere, editor, New Autism Research Developments, page 51:
  The level of glycin (Table 4) in the serum and the plasma of autistic patients does not show consistent changes.

The confusion with glycine may be compounded by translations of the latter in certain other languages, as well as by the synonym photoglycine.
