Structural highlights

Insulin is made up of two peptide chains: the and the

There are several disulfide bonds that hold the molecule together and this general amino acid sequence and structure doesn't vary much from species to species. This is the reason why pig insulin was once produced for human use.

Insulin molecules often form dimers or hexamers in solution because of hydrogen bonding between molecules
