MAA's standards

[Juan Torres]

>Dear coral-listers:
>Merry Chrstmas to you all from Puerto Rico!
>I am working on the effects of UV radiation on Acropora cervicornis and
>Porites furcata. So far, I have found around 8-9 different mycosporine-like
>amino acids (MAA's) in both species. Among them are:
>Mycosporine-glycine, Mycosporine-2glycine, palythinol, usujirene and
>palythene. Yet, I don't have any standards to prove these are really the
>compounds. I wonder if any of you have some or know of a way of acquiring
>them? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
>Thanks,
>Juan L. Torres
