We carried out a detailed theoretical study on the mechanism of the carbene ligand substitution by cysteine and selenocysteine residues in an Au(I) bis-N-heterocyclic carbene complex in order to model the initial stages of the mechanism of action of this promising class of antitumor metallodrug. Both neutral and deprotonated capped Cys and Sec species were considered as possible nucleophiles in the ligand exchange reaction on the metal center to model the corresponding protein side chains. Energies and geometric structures of the possib
