Field notes
The lesson begins with glycine as a 3D conformer, then adds amino-acid residues while explaining peptide-bond formation and water loss. Its insulin section offers backbone, ribbon, and all-atom views using coordinates from PDB entry 1MSO. The source notes identify two compounds whose sequences lack UniProt entries and explain that the cited porcine glucagon entry has the same sequence as human glucagon.
