Determination of free desmosine and isodesmosine as urinary biomarkers of lung disorder by ultra performance liquid chromatography-ion mobility-mass spectrometry

The elastin degradation products, desmosine (DES) and isodesmosine (IDES) are highly stable, cross-linking amino-acids that are unique to mature elastin. The excretion of DES/IDES in urine, in the free form and with associated peptide fragments, provides an indicator of lung damage in chronic obstru...
