A new approach for activating chemical reactions based on the element selenium has been tested by scientists. They demonstrated that selenium can form bonds similar to those of hydrogen bonds, ...

The behaviour of di-selenol enzyme mimics indicates that a halogen bond between selenium and iodine, and a chalcogen interaction between the two selenium atoms, play an important role in the ...

Selenium is vital in maintaining anti-oxidant functions in the body. It is a trace element and is most often found in the form of the amino acid selenocysteine, which is a cysteine analog that has a ...
