Delve into the mechanism of insulin, and you encounter the incredible beauty of protein molecules. They aren’t really these colors. The colors represent the different components of the molecules, but the fantastic shapes are real. It’s like your children took LSD and went crazy with your box of ribbons. The whole stuff of life is this fascinating dance of elaborate dancers, dancing through our bodies, performing all the intricate chemistry that keeps us alive. That’s a glucokinase molecule. There is as much beauty flowing through your blood as there is in any museum of modern art.

This fascinating protein is dipeptidyl peptidase-4 which is associated with immune regulation.

This beauty is insulin.

This is glucokinase hexokinase 4.
