[Insulin analogues with substitution of A1-glycine by D-amino acids and omega-amino acids (author's transl)].

Substitution of A1-glycine of insulin by L-amino acids yields in analogues with low biological activity. With D-amino acids in A1 biological activity is essentially retained. The influence of aliphatic, aromatic, acidic and basic alpha-D-amino acids as well as omega-amino acids in A1 on the biological effects in different test systems is studied and discussed.
