-
cross linking in mature collagen
what is the difference between mature collagen and collagen fibrils?
-
draw the aldol cross-link reaction, what does it require?
-
aldol cross links 2 lysyl residues by making them into 2 allysine (1 allysine link to 1 lysine) dependent on copper, b6 and oxygen
what is lysyl oxidase and what is it dependent on?
-
lysine + allysine -> shiff base (aldimine) -> (reduced) lysinorleucine double bond is lost between nitrogen and carbon
