It was found that at least three insulin molecules would have to bind to the receptor for the receptor to take on its active “T-state” conformation <ref name="Uchikawa" />. The difference between the fully bound state with four insulins and the three insulin bound state is minimal compared to the difference between two and three insulins bound <ref name="Uchikawa" />. | It was found that at least three insulin molecules would have to bind to the receptor for the receptor to take on its active “T-state” conformation <ref name="Uchikawa" />.
