Abstract excerpt
A mutant proinsulin gene was constructed through PCR mediated mutagenesis. The code of A19Tyr was deleted. The mutant proinsulin, (deltaY)19-lys-proinsulin [(deltaY)19KPI], was expressed in E. coli and purified. After treatment with trypsin and carboxypeptidase B, and Resource Q separation, (deltaY)19-human insulin [(deltaY)19HI] was obtained. It retains 63.6% of receptor binding activity but only 2.2% of immune...
