</jmol>, structural elements that are far apart in the unliganded conformation. Thus, binding of insulin in site 1 requires a large structural rearrangement that activates the tyrosine kinase activity of the endodomain by bringing the two kinase domains close for autophosphorylation. | </jmol>, structural elements that are far apart in the unliganded conformation.
