By attaching a larger molecule, like a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain (a process called PEGylation), scientists can make the peptide too large to be easily filtered by the kidneys and can also sterically hinder the approach of degrading enzymes
Ammonia breaks the AFB1 lactone ring and this creates an ammonium salt with hydroxy acid, reducing toxicity
