Analysis of insulin glulisine at the molecular level by X-ray crystallography and biophysical techniques

Abstract This study concerns glulisine, a rapid-acting insulin analogue that plays a fundamental role in diabetes management. We have applied a combination of methods namely X-ray crystallography, and biophysical characterisation to provide a detailed insight into the structure and function of gluli...
