Insulin's instability lies in its enhanced susceptibility to chemical degradation and formation of insoluble fibrils (fibrillation). We hypothesize that flexible elements in the secondary structure ...

we determined the structure of glucagon using anomalous scattering 4,5, a technique learned through the earlier work on the insulin project.

Hormones are released from endocrine glands and are transported in the blood to target cells Insulin: released from pancreas, stimulates liver cells to take up glucose from the blood and Glucagon ...
