Selenocystine is the amino acid with the formula (HO₂CCH(NH₂)CH₂Se)₂. It is the oxidized derivative of the canonical amino acid selenocysteine (HO₂CCH(NH₂)CH₂SeH). 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]
