Abstract excerpt
Insulin binding to the human insulin receptor (HIR) is characterized by negatively cooperative site-site interactions that give rise to a curvilinear Scatchard plot. Insulin binding to recombinant secreted HIRs is linear, suggesting that interactions between the transmembrane or cytoplasmic domains of the receptor heterodimers may be responsible for the generation of negative cooperativity. To determine the...
