Article Abstract
Selenium is a trace element required for the active function of numerous enzymes and various physiological processes. In recent years, selenium nanoparticles draw the attention of scientists and researchers because of its multifaceted uses. The process involved in chemically synthesized SeNPs has been found to be hazardous in nature, which has paved the way for safe and ecofriendly SeNPs to be developed in order to achieve sustainability. In comparison to chemical synthesis, SeNPs can be synthesized more safely and with greater flexibility utilizing bacteria, fungi, and plants. This review focused on the synthesis of SeNPs utilizing bacteria, fungi, and plants; the mechanisms involved in SeNP synthesis; and the effect of various abiotic factors on SeNP synthesis and morphological characteristics. This article discusses the synergies of SeNP synthesis via biological routes, which can help future researchers to synthesize SeNPs with more precision and employ them in desired fields.

Comparison of proteolytic activities of deconjugating enzymes toward ubiquitin or other ubiquitin-like modifiers (UbL), such as SUMO isoforms or Nedd8, has been a central focus in recent years to understand the dual or even multiple activities exhibited by members of the SENP/ULP family. This protocol outlines a competitive assay for an initial kinetic assessment of a SENP/ULP family member with specificity for alternative SUMO substrates. By using this method, the affinity of a SENP/ULP member for different SUMO isoforms or SUMO mutant variants can be compared.

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have garnered increased interest due to their significant role in human health, including the regulation of blood sugar levels, boosting the immune system, reducing oxidative stress, and other benefits. Conventional synthesis methods of SeNp employ the use of toxic chemicals and solvents, which are harmful to the environment; in contrast, the green synthesis method does not involve the use of any toxic chemicals. In this article, the green synthesis of SeNp using plant extracts, the influence of reaction parameters on their characteristic properties, and the application of SeNp in the present world are discussed.

Unlabelled: This study investigates the eco-friendly synthesis, characterization, and biological activity of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) incorporated into a polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CH) composite for antimicrobial, antioxidant, and food preservation applications. SeNPs were synthesized using orange peel extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Characterization through UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, dynamic light scattering (DLS), TEM and zeta potential analysis confirmed the formation of stable, well-dispersed SeNPs.

This study investigates the potential of post-harvest immersion in plasma-activated water (PAW) and water containing 1 mg/L selenium nanoparticles (Se-NP solution) to extend the shelf life of mandarin fruit using a two-factor factorial experiment with three replications in a completely randomized design. Freshly harvested mandarins were divided into six groups: (1) control (immersed in distilled water), (2) and (3) treated with PAW for 2 and 4 min, respectively, (4) treated with aqueous solution of Se-NP for 5 min, and (5) and (6) treated sequentially with the Se-NP solution for 5 min combined by PAW for 2 and 4 min, respectively under different storage time (At harvest, 15, 30 and 45 days). The samples were stored at 5 ± 1 °C and 85-90% relative humidity.
