Evaluating the Potential Inhibition of PP2A by Nodularin-R Disinfection By-Products: Effect and Mechanism [PDF]
ToxinsThe secondary contamination of nodularin disinfection by-products (NOD-DBPs) is a problem worthy of attention. In this study, prototypical NOD-R-DBPs were prepared, and their toxicity was assessed using conventional protein phosphatase (PPs) inhibition ...
