Resumo da Palestra:
Chalcogen analogues, which are synthetic derivatives of natural proteins or nuclei acids with a substitutions of sulfur (S), selenium (Se) or tellurium (Te) at any specific positions, show unique biological activities, which are significantly different from the original biomolecules, thus stimulating our interest and anticipating various applications. In this lecture, recent advances in the chemical synthesis of selenium analogs of proteins and nucleosides as well as the assessments of unique biological properties are focused, exemplifying our recent achievements.
