  We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array to conduct a search for
the simplest amino acid, glycine (conformers I and II), and the simple chiral
molecule propylene oxide at 3-mm in the Sgr B2 LMH. We searched 15 portions of
spectrum between 85 and 91 GHz, each of 64 MHz bandwidth, and detected 58
emission features and 21 absorption features, giving a line density of 75
emission lines and 25 absorption lines per GHz stronger than the 5 sigma level
of 110 mJy. Of these, 19 are transitions previously detected in the
interstellar medium, and we have made tentative assignments of a further 23
features to molecular transitions. However, as many of these involve molecules
not previously detected in the ISM, these assignments cannot be regarded with
confidence. Given the median line width of 6.5 km/s in Sgr B2 LMH, we find that
the spectra have reached a level where there is line confusion, with about 1/5
of the band being covered with lines. Although we did not confidently detect
either glycine or propylene oxide, we can set 3 sigma upper limits for most
transitions searched. We also show that if glycine is present in the Sgr B2 LMH
at the level of N = 4 x 10^{14} cm^{-2} found by Kuan et al. (2003) in their
reported detection of glycine, it should have been easily detected with the
ATCA synthesized beam size of 17.0 x 3.4 arcsec^{2}, if it were confined to the
scale of the LMH continuum source (< 5 arcsec). This thus puts a strong upper
limit on any small-scale glycine emission in Sgr B2, for both of conformers I
and II.
