The Biosynthesis of Desmosine and Isodesmosine
The biosynthesis of desmosine and isodesmosine was studied with chick embryo aortas in tissue culture. Radioactivity was incorporated into desmosine and isodesmosine when uniformly labeled lysine-14C was added to the medium, but no activity could be incorporated into these amino acids from aspartic acid-14C, glutamic acid-14C, or threonine-14C.

Photolysis of Desmosine and Isodesmosine by Ultraviolet Light [PDF]
Desmosine and isodesmosine were separated by ion‐exchange and paper chromatography, after acid hydrolysis of purified elastin from beef ligamentum nuchae. The fractions obtained by ion‐exchange chromatography were clearly mixtures of related compounds.

Accelerated elastin degradation by age-disease interaction: a common feature in age-related diseases. [PDF]
Aging is a major driving force for many diseases but the relationship between chronological age, the aging process and age-related diseases is not fully understood.

A structural model for desmosine cross-linked peptides [PDF]
Desmosine-enriched peptides were isolated from a thermolysin digest of bovine ligamentum nuchae elastin and a partial sequence was determined. A ‘two-cross-link’ model is proposed in which a second cross-link, perhaps lysinonorleucine, joins two peptide chains approx. 35 amino acid residues removed from the desmosine. Implied in this model is a certain

Desmosine and isodesmosine are crosslinking amino acids of elastin, which is an essential component of the dermal extracellular matrix protein. Quantitative analysis of crosslinker desmosines in human skin dermis has not been fully achieved due to the insoluble nature of elastin protein.
