Circular dichroism of insulin A chain in water: trifluoroethanol mixtures. Use of linear and nonlinear least squares analysis. 1977

L A Holladay

Circular dichroic spectra obtained for S-carboxymethylated insulin A chain in water: trifluoroethanol mixtures show that a marked conformational transition occurs as the concentration of trifluoroethanol is increased to (v/v) 83% to give a polypeptide containing about 43% of the residues in the alph-helical conformation. Several proposed methods of analysis, including both linear and two nonlinear lest squares methods, were unable to quantitate the amount of beta-structure present in the polypeptide in 83% trifluoroethanol. Examination of the methods of analysis lead to the conclusion that the current models for far UV CD analysis are not adequare for the data obtained in this study and shows that nonlinear least squares procedures may lead to erroneous conclusions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
