Seleno-L-cystine (CAS 29621-88-3)
QUICK LINKS
Seleno-L-cystine, characterized by its diselenide-bridged structure among amino acids, plays a pivotal role in the realm of synthetic chemistry, particularly in the generation of selenylated diamino acids that are not found in nature. This compound distinguishes itself from selenocysteine (Sec) by its unique structural configuration, where two selenium atoms are integrated into a single molecular framework, setting a stark contrast to the singular selenium atom in Sec. The redox-active nature of Seleno-L-cystine allows it to engage in electron transfer processes, enabling it to function both as an antioxidant, where it can donate electrons to neutralize reactive oxygen species, and as a pro-oxidant, under conditions where it can accept electrons, thus contributing to the generation of reactive species under certain experimental setups.
