Allysine modifications perturb tropoelastin structure and mobility on a local and global scale

Elastin provides elastic tissues with resilience through stretch and recoil cycles, and is primarily made of itsextensively cross-linked monomer, tropoelastin. Here, we leverage the recently published full atomistic modelof tropoelastin to assess how allysine modifications, which are essential to cr...
