Meroterpenoid natural products are important bioactive molecules with broad distribution throughout nature. In <i>Streptomyces</i> bacteria, naphthoquinone-based meroterpenoids comprise a simple yet structurally fascinating group of natural product antibiotics that are enzymatically constructed through a series of asymmetric alkene and arene halofunctionalization reactions. This account article highlights our discovery and characterization of a group of vanadium-dependent chloroperoxidase enzyme ...[more]
