Abstract
Insulin analogues withl- andd-tryptophan instead of glycine in A1 permit an estimate of the proximity relationship between the indole residue of tryptophan and B19-tyrosine by evaluation of singlet-singlet resonance energy transfer. A significantly higher transfer efficiency is observed with [(d)TrpA1]insulin than with the [TrpA1]analogue. On the basis of this result it is possible to deduce the arrangement of the side chains and the α-amino groups in position A1 of [(d)TrpA1] and [TrpA1]insulin.
