The historically conditioned adaptation of living organisms to chemically corresponding elements is influenced in nature by anthropogenic activities in many regions, the selenium-sulphur pair being one example of such a case. The separation of selenomethionine, selenoethionine and selenocystine was studied by HPLC and high-resolution GC. Ion-exchange chromatography followed by temperature-programmed GC gives the possibility of the analytical separation of trace amounts of selenomethionine in a complex mixture of common amino acids. Diastereoisomers of selenocystine were identified by HPLC in the AccQ-Tag mode.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
