Abstract:	In 2017, two companies, Novartis AG and Syngenta AG, joined forces with the group of Prof. Buller, head of the Competence Center for Biocatalysis (CCBIO), to tackle the challenge of enzymatic late-stage halogenation. This biocatalytic method was considered to provide a more sustainable approach to late-stage halogenation of complex molecules than traditional synthetic approaches. Using machine-learning guided protein engineering, α-ketoglutarate dependent halogenases were evolved into versatile catalysts capable of selectively chlorinating inactivated C−H bonds. Structurally diverse molecules, namely an analogue of martinelline as well as two members of the soraphen natural product family, were enzymatically chlorinated at two distinct positions in a regio- and stereoselective manner, thus demonstrating the synthetic usefulness of such a strategy. As part of our three-year collaboration, flavin-dependent halogenases were also studied.
