The aspartic acid in human tooth enamel shows increasing racemization with age. This increase is not seen in the metabolically active protein hemoglobin. The rate constant for the racemization reaction of aspartic acid in human tooth enamel was found

Racemization of aspartyl residues in human dentine and enamel proteins has been shown to occur at a rate which corresponds to an enrichment in the D-aspartic acid content of 0.1 % per year. This rate can be used to calculate the ages of living people

THE L-amino acids initially present in bone protein undergo slow racemisation over geological time at a rate which is proportional to temperature1,2. We have shown3 that at the human body temperature of ∼37°C aspartyl residues in tooth enamel prot

The development of amino acid racemization as a dating technique holds considerable promise for resolving questions of human evolution and culture histories. The advantages of this method are: fossil bone can be directly dated; only gram quantities a
