Reviewer 1 Report
The authors should check the stereochemistry of Aflatoxin B1 and Aflatoxin B2 in figure 1 is correct. The stereochemistry in the figures does not match some widely accessible figures of these aflatoxins. Usually the hydrogens are drawn near the furan-type ring to communicate the stereochemistry. The authors could add these two hydrogens to make the stereochemistry clear. The stereochemistry of aflatoxin B2 does not match other reports in the literature.

Reviewer 2 Report
The study is very complex and interesting. I suggest few minor corrections.
