## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family comprises six enzymes—LOX, LOXL1, LOXL2, LOXL3, and LOXL4—that catalyze the oxidative deamination of lysine and hydroxylysine residues in collagen and elastin, generating aldehydes (allysine and hydroxyallysine) that spontaneously condense to form covalent cross-links. These cross-links, including aldol condensation products, pyridinium compounds (pyridinoline and pyrrole), and advanced pyridoxine and pyrrole cross-links, a...
