A Review of Nephrotoxicity of Microcystins [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Cyanobacterial blooms triggered by eutrophication and climate change have become a global public health issue. The toxic metabolites microcystins (MCs) generated by cyanobacteria can accumulate in food chain and contaminate water, thus posing a potential threat to human and animals health.

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.
