Both my group and Yang's group Yang Yang have demonstrated that nonheme iron enzymes can be engineered for enantioselective C(sp3)-F bond formation via iron-mediated radical fluorine transfer. Huge congratulations to the team led by postdoc Qun Zhao Zhao Qun , now a professor…

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of my coauthors, as well as Prof. Xiongyi Huang Xiongyi Huang-JHU Biocatalysis and Prof. Marc Garcia-Borràs Marc Garcia Borràs, for making this project possible!

I am thrilled to announce that our work on engineering non harm iron enzymes for C(sp3)-F bond formation via radical fluorine transfer is now out on Nature Synthesis!!
