Abstract:Biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are the most
favorable
Se form for nutritional supplementation due to their high stability,
low toxicity, and high activity. However, the interaction between
the surface-binding proteins and their stable biogenic SeNPs, as well
as their impact on the stability and bioavailability of SeNPs, remains
to be understood. In vitro stabilization experiments revealed an amino
acid segment (F(235–386)) in Rahnella aquatilis’ flagellin FliC, with surfactant-like properties, stabili… Show more
