Selenophosphate Synthetase: Physiology, Biochemistry, and Mechanism

The video tutorial covers the topic of gene expression, focusing on the central dogma and the roles of different types of RNA. It introduces selenocysteine, an amino acid involved in redox reactions, and explains its synthesis through a complex enzymatic process involving selenophosphate. The tutorial also delves into the mechanism of selenophosphate synthesis, highlighting the role of tautomerization and the involvement of specific enzymes.
