Selenium (Se) and mercury (Hg) are prevalent pollutants of industrialized watersheds. However, when co-administered, Se has protective effects on organisms from Hg. The mechanism is not fully understood, but it is thought that Se reduces Hg availability, either by forming

Posttranslational methylation by S-adenosyl-L-methionine(SAM)-dependent methyltransferases plays essential roles in modulating protein function in both normal and disease states. As such, there is a growing need to develop chemical reporters to examine the physiological and pathological roles of protein methyltransferases. Several

Se speciation was performed in 24 individual paired serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from neurologically healthy persons. Strong anion exchange (SAX) separation, coupled to inductively coupled plasma-dynamic reaction cell-mass spectrometry (ICP-DRC-MS), was employed. Species identification was done by standard

Selenomethionine labeling is the most common technique used in protein crystallography to derivatize recombinant proteins for experimental phasing using anomalous scattering at tunable synchrotron beamlines. Recently, it has been shown that UV radiation depletes electron density of selenium atoms of
