	Selenocysteine ('''Sec, U''') is called the 21st [[Amino Acids\|amino acid]]<ref name='21st'>PMID: 11028985</ref>. It is incorporated into rare proteins in all domains of life, and is essential for life. When the UGA stop codon is accompanied by a [[#Translation from UGA Stop Codon\|suitable signal]], it is translated as Sec instead of stopping translation. In the [[PDB]], the code for [[hetero]] group Sec is '''CSE'''. For more information beyond what is below, please see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenocysteine Selenocysteine in Wikipedia].
