Over 5000 halogenated natural products have been reported so far, many of these arising from the marine environment. The introduction of a halogen into a molecule can significantly impact its bioavailability and bioactivity. More recently enzymatic halogenation has been used to enable late stage functionalisation through site-selective halogenation and cross-coupling. Halogenases are becoming increasingly valued tools. This review outlines the various classes of halogenases that have been discovered, and examines these from both a structural and a mechanistic perspective, reflecting upon the many recent advances in halogenase discovery.

卤化酶:结构和功能。
迄今为止,已报道了 5000 多种卤化天然产物,其中许多来自海洋环境。将卤素引入分子会显着影响其生物利用度和生物活性。最近,酶促卤化已被用于通过位点选择性卤化和交叉偶联实现后期功能化。卤化酶正成为越来越有价值的工具。这篇综述概述了已发现的各类卤化酶,并从结构和机制的角度对这些进行了研究,反映了卤化酶发现的许多最新进展。
