MODERN CONCEPT OF BIOLOGICAL IDENTIFICATION OF SELENOPROTEINS

Modern concept of biological identification of selenoproteins

Humans possess 25 selenoproteins, approximately half of which are enzymes (selenoenzymes) required for preventing, regulating, or reversing oxidative damage, while others participate in providing calcium metabolism, thyroid hormone maintenance, protein synthesis, cytoskeletal structure etc.This review examines the latest evidences of the biological

Light-mediated double-strand DNA cleavage by an alkyldicobalamin

Agents that cause double-strand breaks (DSBs) of DNA via radical formation have been demonstrated to be effective in treating cancer because DSBs result in cellular apoptosis.Light-responsive agents for the treatment of cancer have been of interest for decades because they afford the ability to spatially control chemical reactions limiting Sweaters
