Flavin-dependent halogenases catalyse the regioselective formation of carbon–chlorine and carbon–bromine bonds using oxygen and inorganic halide salts. Now, genome mining has led to the discovery of a previously unknown viral halogenase that catalyses the iodination of arenes, thereby providing a rare biocatalytic tool for the formation of carbon–iodine bonds.

鉴定碘酶

黄素依赖性卤化酶使用氧和无机卤化物盐催化碳-氯和碳-溴键的区域选择性形成。现在，基因组挖掘已导致发现一种以前未知的病毒卤化酶，该酶催化芳烃的碘化，从而为形成碳碘键提供了一种罕见的生物催化工具。
