Which specific enzymatic cleavage is crucial for converting proinsulin to active insulin in the production of genetically engineered human insulin?

Which of these is NOT an advantage of using genetically engineered insulin?

Read the following statements about insulin and choose the option that states all correct statements.

a. Earlier, insulin was extracted from pancreas of slaughtered cattles and pigs

b. Mature insulin do not contain polypeptide C

c. Mature insulin consists of two short polypeptides: chain A and chain B

d. During commercial production of insulin, chain A and B were produced together, extracted and combined by creating disulphide bonds

The term ‘Humulin’ is used for

If the disulfide bridges in human insulin were broken, what would be the most likely consequence?

Which of the following accurately describes the structure of pro-insulin?

Which of these best describes the structure of mature, functional human insulin?

Consider the following statements about insulin

I. Human insulin is made-up of 51 amino acids arranged in two polypeptide chains

II. The two polypeptide chains are interconnected by two disulphide bridges

III. In mammals including humans, insulin is synthesized as a pro-hormone, which contains an extra stretch called the C-peptide

IV. C-peptide is not present in the mature insulin
