Abstract
The insulin molecule was derivatised by reaction with trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid (TNBS), which is known to react predominantly with free primary amino groups. The products of the reaction were analysed by reversed-phase chromatography and by further derivatisation with dansyl chloride. Under the conditions of these experiments, TNBS was found to react preferentially with glycine at position A1. This finding is discussed in terms of the tertiary structure and immunogenicity of this derivative.
