Microcystins are extremely toxic compounds produced by cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), belonging to species of Microcystis, Oscillatoria, Anabaena and Nostoc. The contamination of drinking water or water of recreational areas can cause severe health problems to exposed humans and animals. Microcystins possess a cyclic heptapeptide structure of the general composition cyclo(-D-Ala-L-X-D-erythro-β-methylisoAsp-L-Y-Adda-D-iso-Glu-N-methyldehydroAla), where Adda is the unusual C20 aa 3-amino-9-methoxy-2,6,8-trimethyl-10-phenyldeca-4,6-dienoic acid and X and Y are variable L-aa.
