Cation exchange HPLC analysis of desmosines in elastin hydrolysates [PDF]
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2011 Desmosine crosslinks are responsible for the elastic properties of connective tissues in lungs and cardiovascular system and are often compromised in disease states. We developed a new, fast, and simple cation exchange HPLC assay for the analysis of desmosine and isodesmosine in animal elastin.
