“Synthetic” dehalogenase deuterates substrates via deuteroformate

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.2023.03.006 https://www.cas.cn/cm/202304/t20230419_4884565.shtml A benzophenone photocatalyst encoded in a yellow fluorescent protein named reductive photodehalogenase (RPDase) can proficiently mediate the biocatalytic hydrodehalogenation and deuterodehalogenation of aryl halides. Unlike natural metal-cofactor-dependent dehalogenases evolved for the bioremediation of specific substrates, this metal-free photoenzyme operates in combination with formate via an entirely unnatural catalytic mechanism and exhibits marked substrate […]
