By changing the molecular structure of insulin: diabetes treatment is expected to make great strides forward

Scientists from the United States and Australia have found that replacing the hydrogen atoms in the molecular structure with iodine atoms can take advantage of the complex form of insulin to accelerate its decomposition and release.

Insulin makes a small protein that regulates blood sugar by transmitting signals to cells. In the body, insulin exists in two forms, one is a complex form for storage, and the other is a simple form responsible for action.

A complex form of insulin is a hexamer composed of six identical molecules, and a simple form is a single individual. When the body needs it to regulate blood sugar, the hexamer is converted into a single body. The insulin molecule is then coupled to the insulin receptor to deliver the signal to the cell.
