Chirality in microcystins [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 1994 A new method has been developed to identify the isomers of amino acids by derivatization of the corresponding standards with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-L-alanine amide (Marfey's reagent or FDAA) and analysis of the diastereomeric derivatives by a liquid chromatography-thermospray mass spectrometry technique.

Are We Underestimating Benthic Cyanotoxins? Extensive Sampling Results from Spain
Toxins, 2017 Microcystins (MCs) are potent hepatotoxins, and their presence in water bodies poses a threat to wildlife and human populations. Most of the available information refers to plankton, and much less is known about microcystins in other habitats. To broaden

Microcystin Prevalence throughout Lentic Waterbodies in Coastal Southern California
Toxins, 2017 Toxin producing cyanobacterial blooms have increased globally in recent decades in both frequency and intensity. Despite the recognition of this growing risk, the extent and magnitude of cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxin prevalence is poorly ...
