Hydroxylysinonorleucine
Hydroxylysinonorleucine is a covalent immature collagen fibrils cross links molecule. Hydroxylysinonorleucine can be isolated from reduced native collagen in rat tail tendons, cornea and skine. Hydroxylysinonorleucine is assembled to complex structures and confers mechanical stability, strength and toughness to tissues[1].
