Formed from condensation of two a-amino adipic acid 8-semialdehyde residues... [Pg.108]

The numerous cross-linkages found in collagen are the result of the oxidation of lysine and hydroxylysine to a-amino adipic acid 8-semialde-hyde (allysine) and 8-hydroxy a-amino adipic acid 8-semialdehyde (hy-droxyallysine), respectively, following the assemblage of the collagen chains into the macromolecular structure (Equations 4 and 5) ... [Pg.113]

The cross-linkages found in collagen and elastin arise from the non-enzymatic interaction of a-amino adipic acid 8-semialdehyde (AL) and 8-hydroxy a-amino adipic acid 8-semialdehyde (HAL) with another residue of the aldehyde or with lysine, hydroxylysine, or histidine residues located at specific positions in the collagen polypeptide chains. Possible relationships among the different compounds in Table II are shown in Figures 4 and 5 for collagen and elastin. [Pg.114]
