D-Aspartic acid in purified myelin and myelin basic protein
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1986 The presence of the biologically uncommon D-isomer of aspartic acid in the white matter of human brains has been reported previously from this laboratory (1). We now report that the level of D-aspartate in human brains is higher in purified myelin than in white matter and is even higher in the myelin basic protein fraction.
