Antioxidant Activity Of The Anti-Inflammatory Compound Ebselen And Its Analogues : Role Of Nonbonded Interactions
(2010-10-05)Although considered as a poison for long time, the importance of selenium as an essential trace element is now well recognized. In proteins, the redox active selenium moiety is incorportated as selenocysteine (Sec), the ... -
Design and Synthesis of Cyclic Diselenides and Selenenyl Sulfides for Biomimetic Applications
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays important roles in cell signaling and redox reactions. However, elevated levels of H2O2 and organic peroxides induce oxidative stress, resulting in damage to biomolecules such as DNA, ... -
Development of New Synthetic Methodologies for Selenocysteine, Selenopeptides and β-Seleno Amino Acids”
thesis mainly describes the synthesis and characterization of novel selenium-containing amino acids for their potential application in redox reactions. Several β-seleno-α-amino acids have been synthesized and fully ...
