Comparative Cellular Toxicity of Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Microcystins on Caco-2 Cells
Microcystins (MC), cyanobacterial peptide hepatotoxins, comprise more than 100 different variants. They are rather polar molecules but some variants contain hydrophobic amino acid residues in the highly variable parts of the molecule. In MC-LF and MC-LW, the more hydrophobic phenylalanine (F) and tr...
