▪ Abstract Aminoacyl-tRNAs are substrates for translation and are pivotal in determining how
the genetic code is interpreted as amino acids. The function of aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis is …

Selenium is an essential micronutrient in the diet of many life forms, including humans and
other mammals. Significant health benefits have been attributed to this element. It is rapidly …

Selenium is a fascinating element that has a long history, most of which documents it as a
deleterious element to health. In more recent years, selenium has been found to be an …

A 1969 report that described biochemical and activity properties of the three eukaryotic RNA
polymerases revealed Pol III as highly distinguishable, even before its transcripts were …

Iron, copper, zinc, and eight other minerals are classified as essential trace elements
because they present in minute in vivo quantities and are essential for life. Because either …

Fish are an important source of selenium in human nutrition and the zebrafish is a potentially
useful model organism for the study of selenium metabolism and its role in biology and …

Selenocysteine (Sec) is known as the 21st amino acid, a cysteine analogue with selenium
replacing sulphur. Sec is inserted co-translationally in a small fraction of proteins called …

In the genetic code, UGA serves as either a signal for termination or a codon for
selenocysteine (Sec). Sec rarely occurs in protein and is different from other amino acids in …

This book brings together the accumulated evidence regarding selenium biochemistry and
trace element caused carcinogenesis. After the introduction to be written by Gerry Combs …

Abstract When selenocysteine (Sec) tRNA [Ser] Sec was originally discovered, it was
proposed to be the first nonsense suppressor tRNA found in mammalian and avian tissues …
