Abstract
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.
