Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

As a result of the physicochemical characteristics of selenium when compared with sulfur, Sec is typically more reactive than Cys while participating in similar reactions, and there are also some qualitative differences in the reactivities between the two amino acids.

Significance Substitution of cysteine by selenocysteine is held responsible for the increased performance of many enzymes: The higher activity of [NiFeSe]-hydrogenases compared with their [NiFe] counterparts is often attributed to the Sec replacement of one active-site cysteine ligand.

However, selenocysteine has also been found to be misincorporated into a small number of proteins displacing cysteines in previous studies, but such misincorporation has not yet been examined at the proteome level thoroughly.
