Semaglutide structural biology relevant to the pharmacology: semaglutide is a 31-amino acid peptide with 94% homology to native GLP-1(7-36).

No disagreement, though it depends on where somebody is starting from, and this thread has been assuming a starting point nobody stated.

The mechanism is more central than most summaries suggest.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

I am going to disagree with the direction of travel here. The thread has converged on the tidiest answer rather than the best-supported one, and those are not the same thing.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. No action needed from anybody.
