An investigation into factors influencing the production and degradation of microcystins
Microcystins (MCYST) potently inhibit protein phosphatases and these cyclic heptapeptides are powerful hepatotoxins. They are known to be secondary metabolites produced by several species of cyanobacteria. The release of these peptides into water supplies poses a considerable threat to both humans a...
