Abstract excerpt
On the basis of observations that biospecific random copolymers (RACS) could induce phenotypic changes on contact with selected eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell lines, polystyrene derivatives of known compositions and obtained by random substitutions of sodium sulfonate and of sulfamides of aspartic acid dimethyl ester, phenylalanine and leucine, were placed in contact with swimming dinophytes of the PSP toxin...
