1 A hot spot for such clinical mutations is found at position B8, conserved as glycine within the vertebrate insulin superfamily. Glycine insulin Homo sapiens
2 We set out to investigate the molecular basis of the aberrant properties of a proinsulin clinical mutant in which residue Gly(B8) is replaced by Ser(B8). Glycine insulin Homo sapiens
3 Modular total chemical synthesis was used to prepare the wild-type [Gly(B8)]proinsulin molecule and three analogs: [D-Ala(B8)]proinsulin, [L-Ala(B8)]proinsulin, and the clinical mutant [L-Ser(B8)]proinsulin. Glycine insulin Homo sapiens
