Desmosine and isodesmosine are unique amino acids found in elastin, a protein in connective tissue such as elastic arteries, lungs, and skin.
Desmosine and isodesmosine can be used as specific biological markers for the degradation of mature cross-linked elastin.
Desmosine can be detected at 270nm using Primesep C mixed-mode reversed-phase cation-exchange column and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (ACN), and water with Ammonium acetate buffer.
