The chemical reactions and pathways involving the nonmetallic element sulfur or compounds that contain sulfur, such as the amino acids methionine and cysteine or the tripeptide glutathione. The chemical reactions and pathways involving selenocysteine, an essential component of glutathione peroxidase and some other proteins. The chemical reactions and pathways involving the nonmetallic element selenium or compounds that contain selenium, such as selenocysteine. The substitution of a selenium atom for a sulfur atom in a ribonucleotide in a tRNA molecule. The chemical reactions and pathways involving a prosthetic group that contains selenium, as in the selenium-dependent molybdenum hydroxylases. The selenium atom in the prosthetic group is required for enzymatic function but is labile to a variety of treatments. The chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances.
