Abstract
IN our investigations1 of the biosynthesis of the A and B chains of insulin in rats by means of labelled amino-acids, we studied the incorporation of 35S-methionine into that protein, the presence of which has not yet been experimentally demonstrated in insulin. There are some indications in the literature that the amino-acid composition of insulin in rats differs somewhat from that in animals of other species2–4.
