Differential racemization of aspartate and serine in human myelin basic protein

L-Aspartate and L-serine were found to undergo amino acid racemization in brain myelin basic protein (MBP) of aging humans. The age and environment of the aspartates and serines in myelin proteins may strongly affect their observed racemizations.
