Non-heme iron enzymes can be engineered for enantioselective C(sp3)-F bond formation via iron-mediated radical fluorine transfer

In recent years there has been a surge in the development of methods for the synthesis of organofluorine compounds. However, enzymatic methods for C–F bond formation have been limited to nucleophilic fluoride substitution. In a new work led by Prof. Xiongyi Huang (Johns Hopkins University, USA) and in collaboration with the group of Dr. Marc
