The rearrangement of asparagine to isoaspartate (isoD) is responsible for the deactivation of many functional proteins.

Abstract
The rearrangement of asparagine to isoaspartate (isoD) is responsible for the deactivation of many functional proteins. However, the isoDGR motif, which is optimally presented as a conformationally controlled cyclic pentapeptide, binds selectively to α5β 1 integrin (see the docking model) with an affinity comparable to that of the peptidic antitumor agent Cilengitide.
