  • Peptide Chemistry up to Its Present State
    Appendix In this Appendix biographical sketches are compiled of many scientists who have made notable contributions to the development of peptide chemistry up to its present state. We have tried to consider names mainly connected with important events during the earlier periods of peptide history, but could not include all authors mentioned in the text of this book. This is particularly true for the more recent decades when the number of peptide chemists and biologists increased to such an extent that their enumeration would have gone beyond the scope of this Appendix. 250 Appendix Plate 8.

  • “All Mushrooms Are Edible; but Some Only Once.”~Croatian Proverb (Amanita Muscaria)
    The Blue Ridge Poison Center Information Sheet: WILD MUSHROOMS Spring signals the start of mushroom growing season. Many wild Virginia mushrooms are edible and delicious, but some are deadly, and the differences between them may be so slight, even an experienced mycologist (mushroom scientist) can make a mistake. Mushrooms are not plants. They are the reproductive part of a fungus, an organism that “eats” dead plants and animals. The toxins in mushrooms are chemicals that are thought to have evolved to prevent animals from eating them. The toxic “Fly Agaric” “All mushrooms are edible; but some only once.”~Croatian proverb (Amanita muscaria) There are no simple guidelines to identify poisonous mushrooms. When in doubt, it is best not to eat what you have picked. Folklore presents many myths about poisonous mushrooms: MYTH: Poisonous mushrooms always have bright, flashy colors. TRUTH: Some toxic species are pure white or otherwise bland in color. MYTH: Snails, insects, or other animals won’t eat poisonous mushrooms. TRUTH: The toxins may be harmless to other organisms. Evidence that something else is eating the mushroom does not mean it is safe for humans to eat. MYTH: Toxic mushrooms turn black if touched by silver or by an onion. TRUTH: All mushrooms may darken or “bruise” as they wither or are damaged. MYTH: Toxic mushrooms smell and taste horrible. TRUTH: Some toxic mushrooms are reported to taste very good. MYTH: Any mushroom becomes safe if you cook it enough. TRUTH: Neither cooking, canning, freezing, or drying will make a poisonous mushroom safe to eat. Symptoms of mushroom poisoning are sometimes delayed by hours or even days after eating, when the toxins have begun to attack the liver and other organs.

This species contains three main Received in revised form 8 September 2015 groups of toxins: amatoxins, phallotoxins, and virotoxins. From these, amatoxins, especially α-amanitin, Accepted 10 September 2015 are the main responsible for the toxic effects in humans. It is recognized that α-amanitin inhibits RNA Available online 12 September 2015 polymerase II, causing protein deficit and ultimately cell death, although other mechanisms are thought Keywords: to be involved. The liver is the main target organ of toxicity, but other organs are also affected, especially Amanita phalloides the kidneys. Intoxication symptoms usually appear after a latent period and may include gastrointestinal Amatoxins disorders followed by jaundice, seizures, and coma, culminating in death.
