Lispro (Humalog) Modifications
Reversing proline-28 and lysine-29 (K29) on insulin B chain to decrease self-association/destabilize dimerization
Aspart (Novolog) Modifications
Proline-28 on insulin B chain is switched to Aspartate-28 (D28) to decrease self-association/destabilize dimerization
Glulisine (Apidra) Modifications
Asparagine-3 (N3) and Lysine-29 (K29) on insulin B chain are switched to Lysine-3 (K3) and Glutamic Acid-29 (E29)
