In 1963, during studies on the cross-links connecting the peptide chains in elastin, PARTRIDGE et al,19 2 discovered two hitherto unknown amino acids with a relatively high molecular weight in the elastic fibres; they designated them desmosine and isodesmosine. Their structure is as follows: Desmos
