Chemical Pathways of Peptide Degradation. IV. Pathways, Kinetics, and Mechanism of Degradation of an Aspartyl Residue in a Model Hexapeptide

Abstract
In this study the hexapeptide Val-Tyr-Pro-Asp-Gly-Ala (Asp-hexapeptide) was used as a model to investigate the kinetics of aspartate degradation in aqueous solution. The apparent rate of degradation...
