The biological activity of selenium is dependent upon its speciation. We aim to integrate
selenium speciation and metabolism into a discussion of the mechanisms by which …

Organoselenium compounds have found such wide utility because of their effects on an
extraordinary number of very different reactions, including many carbon-carbon bond …

The advance in the area of synthesis and reactivity of organoselenium, as well as the
discovery that selenium was the cause of severe intoxication episodes of livestock in the …

It is well known that oxidation caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a major cause of
cellular damage and death and has been implicated in cancer, neurodegenerative, and …

Empirical approaches to discover anticancer drugs and cancer treatments have made
limited progress in the past several decades in finding a cure for cancer. The expanded …

Cisplatin (CIS), an anticancer alkylating agent, induces DNA adducts and effectively cross
links the DNA strands and so affects spermatozoa as a male reproductive toxicant. The …

Nitric oxide (NO)-release in blood serum initiated by gold nanoparticles has been prove to
be a reaction between RSNO and the gold nanoparitcles. In this reaction the NO production …

The reaction mechanism of the GPx-like oxidation of PhSH with H2O2 catalyzed by
selenoxides proceeds via formation of the hydroxy perhydroxy selenane, which is a stronger …

Silver (Ag) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have wide applications. They are increasingly
being used in the medical devices, biosensors, cancer cell imaging, and cosmetics …

We describe the formation of amorphous selenium (α-Se)/protein composites using
Capsicum annuum L extract to reduce selenium ions (SeO 3 2−) at room temperature. The …
