title: Selenalysine utilization by CHO cells.
abstract: CHO cells allowed to grow in a medium containing selenalysine can utilize it for protein synthesis. Selenalysine is incorporated into cell proteins in substitution of lysine: a maximum of 5% of protein lysine can be substituted. Protein lysine substitution by selenalysine can be correlated to the reduced viability of cells grown in its presence.
