Treatment with similar concentrations of cacodylic acid also had no effect on selenoprotein synthesis (data not shown), and thus pentavalent compounds were not further tested.
Impact of trivalent arsenicals on selenoprotein synthesis
More recently, inorganic forms have been replaced by organic arsenicals, such as disodium methylarsenate and cacodylic acid. They are also used in medicines and wood preserving, and have recently reported to be useful in electronics.
