On resin synthesis and cross-linking of collagen peptides containing the advanced glycation end-product pyrraline via Maillard condensation†
Abstract
Glycation and its products cause a host of pathological conditions but their exact roles are yet to be determined. Pyrraline, a key product of glycation, and a novel pyrraline-derived cross-link have been incorporated into collagenous peptides via Maillard condensations performed on resin-bound peptide sequences.
