In your original mail (2011-02-18; 18:45 GMT), you wrote: "Possibly deamidation of the protein, in particluar one or more lysines"
Hence, my comment was based on your own writing, that is deamiDation.
Wishing you a better week.

I'll swap you for the deamination, as that pertains to lysines...it's
been a long week :)

Typo! I actually meant deamidation.

Hi,
you did not mention anything about your protein, but if it shows a
metal
dependency, than different amounts of the metal ion might changen the
overall
charge and influence the interactions with the ion exchanger. There
might be
also a modification of an aminoacid f.e. decarboxylation of an
aspartate or
glutamate.
