Chemists at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have tested a new approach for activating chemical reactions based on the element selenium. They demonstrated that selenium can form bonds similar to those of ...

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 ...

Selenoproteins are crucial for several biological functions, including the breakdown of harmful substances, immune system support, and regulating metabolic processes. However, in specific contexts, ...

IN his interesting communication on the structure of SeF 4 1, Mr. Bowen writes: “Only one model was found to give satisfactory agreement with the visually estimated ring intensities. This model has a ...
