Summary Introduction
To review:
The inference drawn from the fact that different vertebrate species have variations in the amino acid sequences of insulin enzyme and the reason behind the presence of amino acid sequences at only certain positions.
Introduction:
The activity of any enzyme depends upon the presence of specific amino acids in its structure. For example, in insulin enzyme, the hydrophobic amino acids are present that helps the enzyme to bind to its substrate.
