Analysis of the elastin in the question showed a decreased number of desmosine cross-links. Desmosine is made up of four lysine residues. Therefore abnormal elastin is likely missing lysine necessary for the formation of these desmosine cross-links.

smpatebut glycine and proline are used in elastin too. Seems like you'd have to know about desmosine though that's not in first aid. Or maybe you can infer lysine since it's charged and is probably more important in maintaining stability?+2019-12-11T07:43:56Z
adongthe only thing we know about cross-linking is with LYSYL oxidase, hence lysine+12019-12-24T05:02:30Z
