Provided are selenocysteine derivatives (e.g., deuterium and tritium analogs), α-methylselenocysteine, and α-methylselenocysteine derivatives. These compounds can be incorporated in more complex chemical structures (e.g., polymers, proteins, peptides, and enzymes). Also provided are methods of making and using these compounds. The compounds can be used, for example, as drugs, chemical reagents, and redox switchable surfactants. |
