Selenocystine is the amino acid with the formula (HO

CCH(NH

)CH

2
. It is the oxidized derivative of the canonical amino acid selenocysteine (HO

CCH(NH

)CH

SeH
). The compound can also be prepared synthetically from serine.[2] Because selenocysteine is not easily isolated or handled, it is often generated by reduction of selenocystine in situ.[3] The selenium–selenium bond length is 2.321 Å, which is 14% longer than the disulfide bond in cystine at 2.040 Å.[4]
