Hi there,
I wonder if the relevant answer to the following question is simply the change in the primary amino acid sequence which would impact the tertiary protein structure (and hence binding/affinity etc for receptor sites) of the following question. Is there any other consideration I would need to explore? The referred to table is attached. Thank you.
The immune system produces antibodies to proteins that are non-self and these non-self proteins are recognized because their shape differs from self-proteins. Some people developed allergies to the animal insulin because their immune systems recognized the proteins as foreign.
Q18. Using the data in Table 2, explain why the immune system would be able to distinguish animal insulin from human insulin.
