Identification of L-methionine-S-sulfoximine as the convulsant isomer of methionine sulfoximine.

abstract：:Marine viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the oceans shaping community structure and nutrient cycling. The interaction between the bloom-forming alga Emiliania huxleyi and its specific large dsDNA virus (EhV) is a major factor determining the fate of carbon in the ocean, thus serving as a key host-pa...
