Abstract
⺠Halogenated natural products are diverse in structure, activity, and biosynthesis. ⺠Halogenases can show high regioselectivity that is often difficult to achieve synthetically. ⺠Chlorine and bromine can be installed at a wide range of chemical functionalities. ⺠Developing halogenases through enzyme engineering is an emerging area of study. ⺠Enzymes acting late in biosynthesis hold intriguing potential for synthesis.
