  • A proposed interaction model of the insulin molecule with its receptor
  • Add time:07/21/2019         Source:sciencedirect.com

    Based on the extensive structural comparisons among the determined structures of the different species and crystal forms of insulin and its derivatives in our laboratory, it was suggested that the binding interaction with the receptor molecule should take place mainly on an amphipathic surface of the insulin molecule. In the middle of this amphipathis surface, there was a hydrophobic surface with an area of about 150 Å2, while the polar and charged groups distributing around the hydrophobic surface constructed a hydrophilic zone. The hydrophobic surface was usually covered by the extended B-chain C-terminal peptides with great mobility. The angle between the proposed binding interaction surface and the surface of dimerization was about 20°. The results from studies on structures of A1-(l-Trp) insulin and A1-(d-Trp) insulin confirmed the interaction mechanism model we proposed.
