The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

The following is a summary of “Genetically predicted brain cortical structure mediates the causality between insulin resistance and cognitive impairment,” published in the January 2025 issue of ...

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 ...
