Enzyme catalyzed regio-and stereo-speci c halogenations in uence the biological activity of a diverse array of therapeutically important natural products, including the antibiotics vancomycin and chloramphenicol as well as the anticancer agents calicheamicin and rebeccamycin. 1-5 The major class of enzymes responsible for this challenging synthetic reaction, the avin-dependent halogenases, catalyzes the formation of carbon-halogen bonds using avin, a halide ion (Cl, Br or I), and O. 6 Recent mechanistic and structural advances achieved with the model avin-dependent tryptophan 7-halogenases PrnA and RebH7-10 have greatly enhanced the level of understanding of this unique reaction. According to these studies, the mechanism for tryptophan halogenation proceeds via FAD (C4a) OOH activation of a chloride ion into the transient chlorinating species HOCl. 11-14 The key evidence for the requirement of a transient chlorinating species is the discovery that a∼ 10-Å-long tunnel separates FAD and tryptophan in the ligand-bound form of PrnA. 12 In a recent compelling study to elucidate the strategy by which RebH controls this highly reactive and indiscriminant oxidant, a Lys79-ϵNH-Cl chloramine intermediate was implicated as the actual chlorinating species within RebH and a structural investigation of RebH was reported. 10 Here we report our independent structural analysis of Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes RebH (UniProt accession
