Localization of D-β-Aspartyl Residue-Containing Proteins in Various Tissues

Localization of D-β-Aspartyl Residue-Containing Proteins in Various Tissues

Prior to the emergence of life, it is believed that only L-amino acids were selected for formation of protein and that D-amino acids were eliminated on the primitive Earth. Whilst homochirality is essential for life, the occurrence of proteins containing D-β-aspartyl (Asp) residues in various tissue...
