Describe how the insulin analog drugs insulin aspart and insulin glargine have been structurally changed from a molecule of human insulin
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: A molecule of human insulin consists of an A and a B chain of amino acids. When insulin analog drugs are created, one or more of the amino acids is changed. For insulin aspart, the amino acid aspartic acid replaces an amino acid on the B chain. For insulin glargine, the amino acid glycine replaces an amino acid on the A chain and arginine is added to the B chain.
