Abstract
A method comprising: providing aqueous insulin; titrating the aqueous insulin with a mixture of small molecule anions, e.g. D- and L-amino acid esters, small D- and L-peptide pairs, and DL lactate solution, to form an insulin/anion pair solution. Titrating may be performed until the insulin/anion pair solution becomes negative by zeta potential measurement. The insulin/anion pair solution may be dialyzed to remove excess anionic polymer using a membrane sufficient to separate the insulin/anion pairs from excess small molecule anions. The insulin/anion pair solution may be dialyzed or lyophilized to remove all of the water, forming a solid of ultra-stable insulin. The positive electrostatic charge of the aqueous insulin may be confirmed by measuring a positive zeta potential value.
