D-Aspartic acid (d-Asp), an endogenous amino acid present in vertebrates and invertebrates, plays an important role in the neuroendocrine system, as well as in the development of the nervous system. During the embryonic stage of birds and the early postnatal

Molecular dynamics simulations of amyloid β(1-42) containing D-aspartic acid residues were performed using several continuous solvent models to investigate the usefulness of simulation methods for D-amino acid-containing proteins and peptides. Normal molecular dynamics simulations and replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations
Free D-aspartate (D-Asp) occurs in substantial amounts in the brain at the embryonic phase and in the first few postnatal days, and strongly decreases in adulthood. Temporal reduction of D-Asp levels depends on the postnatal onset of D-aspartate oxidase (DDO)

The formation and accumulation of D-aspartate residue (D-Asp) in proteins caused by oxidative stress leads to dysfunction and/or denaturation of proteins, and is consequently responsible for aging-related misfolding diseases such as cataracts, prion disease, and Alzheimer's disease. We sought to
Recent investigations have shown that D-aspartate (D-Asp) plays an important physiological role(s) in the mammalian body. Here, several recent studies of free D-Asp metabolism in mammals, focusing on cellular localization in tissues, intracellular localization, biosynthesis, efflux, uptake and degradation are
