title: Photolysis and partial ozonolysis of kappa-elastin from ligamentum nuchae.
abstract: Photolysis and partial ozonolysis of guanidinated kappa-elastin led to the destruction of isodesmosine and desmosine up to 96.0 and 91.5% respectively. Simultaneously there was a 3.89-fold enrichment of the lysine content. Two lysine containing tripeptides and one dipeptide were isolated and characterized. Their amino acid sequences were Gly-Ala-Lys, Gly-Lys-Ala and Lys-Ala, respectively.
