Abstract excerpt
The hydrophobic residue Phe-23 lies on a surface of insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) which may be involved in binding to the type I IGF and insulin receptors. The possibility that Phe-23 participates directly in binding to these receptors has been investigated by comparing the properties of [F23G]IGF-1, a mutant of insulin-like growth factor 1 in which Phe-23 has been replaced by Gly, with those of IGF-1 and...
