Exploring the selenium-over-sulfur substrate specificity and kinetics of a bacterial selenocysteine lyase

2020-02-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Selenium is a vital micronutrient in many organisms. While traces are required for utilization by the microbe, excess amounts are toxic; thus, selenium can be regarded as a biological “double-edged sword”. Selenium is chemically similar to the essential element sulfur, but curiously, evolution has selected the former over the latter for a subset of oxidoreductases. Enzymes involved in sulfur met...
