Abstract

The lysine-derived crosslinks in elastin, desmosine, and isodesmosine, are quantitated in tissue hydrolysates by monitoring high-performance liquid chromatography eluents at 275 nm. The results from this method compare favorably with results from the amino acid analyzer. However, this more sensitive method (1) eliminates ninhydrin-positive artifacts which elute with the desmosines from some tissue hydrolysates on the amino acid analyzer, and (2) makes possible elastin quantitation in a tissue with the minimum amount of manipulations.
