SECISearch3 and Seblastian: new tools for prediction of SECIS elements and selenoproteins [PDF]
, 2014 Selenoproteins are proteins containing an uncommon amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). Sec is inserted by a specific translational machinery that recognizes a stem-loop structure, the SECIS element, at the 3′ UTR of selenoprotein genes and recodes a UGA ...

Effects of selenium biofortification on crop nutritional quality [PDF]
, 2015 Selenium (Se) at very low doses has crucial functions in humans and animals. Since plants represent the main dietary source of this element, Se-containing crops may be used as a means to deliver Se to consumers (biofortification). Several strategies have

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We present a mechanochemical, radical‐mediated hydroselenation of alkenes under ambient conditions. This method modularly generates alkyl selenyl radicals from elemental selenium and alkyl (pseudo)halides, utilizing PhSiH3 and H2O as hydrogen atom donors, with the water likely originating from the air and/or trace water present in the reagents ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by natural amino acid polymer‐melanin systems, this study strategically incorporated tellurocysteine to develop advanced radiation‐shielding materials. This approach transformed the primary interaction mechanism between melanin‐based materials and incident photons from Compton scattering to the photoelectric effect. Tellurocysteine‐polymerized
