A-level Chemistry/OCR (Salters)/Engineering Proteins
< A-level Chemistry < OCR (Salters)
A ribbon diagram of the human insulin hexamer, showing two Zn2+ ions and the histidine residues that ligate them. Each insulin monomer making up the hexamer is coloured differently.
Engineering Proteins is the eighth unit in the Salters Advanced Chemistry course.
