Halogenase! Whoops.

Copper-dependent halogenase catalyses unactivated C−H bond functionalization - Nature A halogenase enzyme uses the copper in its active site to catalyse iterative chlorinations on multiple unactivated carbon−hydrogen bonds, enabling carbon−hydrogen functionalization that is not achieva...

First post on Blue sky! Congratulations to graduate student Yorick Chiang and scientist Masa Ohashi on discovery of new copper dependent halogen from Nature @nature.com !
