This is called the quaternary structure of insulin. In the beta cells of the pancreas, the insulin molecule is originally produced as a single molecule (preproinsulin) composed of 110 amino acids.

Australian scientists revealed the molecular structure of a hitherto unknown region of the insulin receptor. This could pave the way for new treatment for diabetes. The major part of the insulin ...

Insulin resistance has a molecular fingerprint, and scientists have just cracked it. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...
