Desmosine (Des) and isodesmosine (Isodes), cross-linking amino acids in the biomolecule elastin, may be used as biomarkers for various pathological conditions associated with elastin degradation. The current study presents a novel approach to quantify Des and Isodes using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS<sup>2</sup>) in a linear ion trap coupled to a vacuum MALDI source. MALDI-MS<sup>2</sup> analyses of Des and Isodes are performed using stable-iso ...[more]
