A glucose-controlled insulin-delivery system: semisynthetic insulin bound to lectin

A glucose-controlled insulin-delivery system: semisynthetic insulin bound to lectin

M Brownlee et al. Science. .

Abstract

A stable, biologically active glycosylated insulin derivative that is complementary to the major combining site of concanavalin A has been synthesized. Hormone release is proportional to the quantity of glucose present. Glucose regulation of exogenous insulin delivery could have important applications in the therapy of diabetes mellitus.
