For the first time. Scientists taking photos explain how insulin interacts with the body

 

Australian scientists say they took pictures explain how insulin interacts with its future to adhere to cells.

Scientists hope the images will help accelerate finding new ways to treat diabetes.

Said Mike Lawrence, a molecular biologist at the University of Melbourne: «so far there wasn't a hologram of the interaction of insulin with its future. It was a part missing.

Lawrence said the Institute Eliza Hall of medical research in Melbourne, the discovery capped 20 years of work.

He said: "we've got one result. It is part of the scientific process and not a moment to rejoice» was reached. Research published in the journal «nature».

He said pharmaceutical companies operate in secret because he did not have any direct knowledge of the complex process of how to release the hormone insulin takes the sugar from receiving blood as a source of energy.

Lawrence said: "this is what we have. This basic information will lead to a significant enhancement in the pharmaceutical industry that make all this insulin and here we'll see new things flowing.

Lawrence leads a team of researchers from Australia, America, Britain, the Czech Republic and used devices synchrotron (cenkrotron) in Melbourne, in Oxford, England to understand how adhesion.

The accelerator sends the synchronous rotating beacon intensive x-rays to crystals made of the future. And a model of atomic structure shows the camera.

Said: «all of insulin and its future to reorder when their interaction. Folding part of insulin and moving key parts in the future to interfere in the hormone insulin.
