[Construction of a family of artificial genes of human insulin].

Using oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis and chemical-enzymatic DNA synthesis, genes for A and B insulin chains, C-peptide and Tyr-C-peptide have been constructed starting from synthetic gene for human proinsulin synthesized earlier. The genes for human preproinsulin, mini-proinsulin, single-chain insulin and their modifications were also synthesized. The constructions obtained were cloned in plasmid vectors.
