Deamidation of Asn residues is a major chemical pathway of degradation of peptides and proteins. To understand better the external factors that influence deamidation, we studied the degradation of the hexapeptide Val–Tyr–Pro–Asn–Gly–Ala, a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone, by HPLC. The deamidation of this model peptide showed marked dependence on pH, temperature, and buffer composition. In...
Deamidation of Asn residues can occur either by direct hydrolysis of the Asn residue or via a cyclic imide intermediate. The effects of primary sequence on the pathways of deamidation of Asn residues were studied using Val-Tyr-X-Asn-Y-Ala hexapeptides with substitution on the C-terminal side (Y) and on the N-terminal side (X) of the Asn residue. In acidic media the peptides deamidate by direct hydrolysis...
