Does aspartimide formation dominate for tirzepatide held at 4 °C?

Asked 8 Oct 2024Modified 22 months agoViewed 20k times

Concretely: aspartimide formation · tirzepatide · 4 °C.

I want to know whether this is a real physical effect or an artefact of how it is measured.

What prompted the question is an inconsistency between two sources I otherwise trust.

Is the standard explanation correct, and if so, what is the evidence for it?
