“…Deamidation has been localized mainly to CDRs [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 26 , 28 , 37 , 44 , 73 , 74 ] and the “PENNY” peptide in the Fc region [ 9 , 16 , 27 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 75 , 76 , 77 ]. To a much lesser degree, deamidation has been detected in other sites [ 9 , 13 , 31 , 36 , 38 , 40 , 75 , 78 ]. Asn deamidation in CDRs has been demonstrated, with almost no exception, to cause decreased antigen binding [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 26 , 28 , 37 , 44 , 74 , 79 ] with no [ 16 ] or minimal [ 28 ] effect on conformation.…”
