PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MONOIODOINSULIN

Abstract
Monoiodoinsulin has been prepared from heterogeneous iodoinsulin containing on an average 1 I/mole using ion exchange chromatography. The isolated monoiodoinsulin showed in contrast to the iodinated insulin essentially a single band examined by disc‐electrophoresis. The iodine content as judged by the specific radioactivity was 1.0 atom of iodine per molecule of insulin. The distribution of the iodine was 1% in the B‐chain and 99%, in the A‐chain, 30% in Tyr A14 and 70% in Tyr A19 respectively. The biological activity of the isolated monoiodoinsulin was 67% in comparison to crystalline insulin tested on isolated rat fat cells. The immunological reactivity using the double‐antibody method with pre‐precipitation was unchanged in comparison to crystalline insulin
