The formation of the isoaspartate (isoAsp) is one of spontaneous degradation processes of proteins, affecting their stability and activity. Here, we report for the first time the crystal structures of an antibody Fab that contains isoAsp in the complementarity-determining region (CDR), along with biochemical studies to detect isoAsp ...
