Kinetics of Isomerization and Inversion of Aspartate 58 of αA-Crystallin Peptide Mimics under Physiological Conditions

Although proteins consist exclusively of L-amino acids, we have reported that aspartyl (Asp) 58 and Asp 151 residues of αA-crystallin of eye lenses from elderly cataract donors are highly inverted and isomerized to D-β, D-α and L-β-Asp residues through succinimide intermediates. Of these Asp isomers...
