Analysis Note
These three insulins have more than 76% identical positions in a primary structure alignment. The human and porcine proteins are most similar with 85% identity. The Phenyl-Hexyl phase provides an alternate retention and selectivity to a C18 phase, particularly the C18 phase on a larger pore silica, Ascentis Express ES-C18
