A flavin-dependent halogenase from metagenomic analysis prefers bromination over chlorination.

A flavin-dependent halogenase from metagenomic analysis prefers bromination over chlorination.

Flavin-dependent halogenases catalyse halogenation of aromatic compounds. In most cases, this reaction proceeds with high regioselectivity and requires only the presence of FADH2, oxygen, and halide salts. Since marine habitats contain high concentrations of halides, organisms populating the oceans...
