Unbelievably small (unless your a quantum physicist in which case HUGE)
Individual molecules of insulin are 100 x bigger than salt (which has a molecular weight of 58)
in 1 gram of salt there would be about 10000000000000000000000 molecules of salt
1 g or insulin would have about 100000000000000000000 insulin molecules!
so very small.
