Insulin protein structure is different among different species of animals. However, essentially it is a protein chain that is similar in many ways among animals.

Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have determined the structure of a previously unseen part of the insulin receptor, making possible new treatments for diabetes.

Despite the positive implications of the insulin-mimicking molecule, more rigorous studies are still needed before an insulin pill could be made available to the general public.

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 ...

Researchers have found that the structure of an insulin molecule produced by predatory cone snails may be an improvement over current fast-acting therapeutic insulin.

The insulin molecule then has to bind to a partner molecule – known as the insulin receptor – that sits on the surface of cells. This binding allows signals from the insulin to pass into the cell.

University of Utah researchers have found that the structure of an insulin molecule produced by predatory cone snails may be an improvement over current fast-acting therapeutic insulin.

US researchers have developed a molecule that could help in diabetes treatment by blocking the breakdown of insulin in the body. About Careers Internship MedBlog Contact us English (US) ...
