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 domai...
