Description

Analysis Note

These three insulins have more than 76% identical positions in a primary structure alignment. The human and porcine proteins are most similar with 85% identity. Baseline resolution of these insulins in achieved on BIOshell A160 Peptide C18, with relative band spacing of these three peaks approximating their relative sequence similarities. BIOshell A160 Peptide C18 is ideally suited for RP chromatography of small proteins or large peptides.
