## Purification of elastin can be accomplished by hydrolytic procedures using acids or alkali, enzymes, or autoclaving (l-3). The resulting preparations can be standardized and characterized only by their amino acid composition (1,4,5) and mainly by their desmosine and isodesmosine contents (6-9)
Analysis of amino acids is complicated by treatment with ampicillin. High voltage electrophoresis, which is convenient for the'qualitative assessment of metabolic diseases, yields smears of amoicillin that mask the bands of citrulline, homocitrulline, phenyiaianine, cystine, and homocystine. The add
