Please note that there is a big difference between glycin and glycine. Sombody misunderstood this once and rewrote the article with wrong information.Hauberg 13:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

The glycin vs. glycine problem leads to misunderstanding. I propose naming the article by the alternative name for this compound "Photoglycine" this could prevent some trouble.

The article stated

It is unrelated to the amino acid glycine.

Do we have a source for this claim?

I do see a glycine moiety both in the molecule itself, and in the systematic name (“N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)glycine” as presented just two sentences earlier). Glycin (the photographic chemical) is indeed related to glycine (the proteinogenic amino acid); the wording in the article is questionable and misleading.

It would be great to learn where the name “glycin” comes from/who coined it, and decided for which reason(s) to establish a relation to the biological molecule.

Until then, I have replaced above sentence with a weaker wording.
