title: Express method for detection of Amanita phalloides amanitine toxins.
abstract: Spectral studies of the interaction between amanitine and ethidium bromide fluorophore showed the appearance of a new intensive fluorescence band after addition of amanitine to ethidium bromide solution, caused by the formation of a charge-transfer complex. The new fluorescence band is located in a shorter wave region of the spectrum compared to ethidium bromide fluorescence band. Based on the results, a rapid fluorescent method for detection of amanitines was developed.
