The disclosure provides biocatalysts that halogenate complex chemical compounds in specific and predictable ways. Also disclosed are halogenated complex organic compounds. The disclosure further provides methods for the halogenation of complex chemical compounds and methods of inhibiting the contraction of smooth muscle in mammals.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of halogenating a complex organic compound comprising contacting a complex organic compound with a flavin-dependent halogenase (FDH) variant comprising one or two amino acid substitutions compared to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:4, wherein the FDH variant is capable of catalyzing the halogenation of a complex organic compound and a halogen under conditions suitable for enzyme-catalyzed halogenation of the complex organic compound. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the complex organic compound is an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein the aromatic heterocyclic organic compound comprises a bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane ring. 4. The method of claim 2 wherein the aromatic heterocyclic organic compound comprises indole. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the compound is an indole alkaloid. 6. The method of claim 5 wherein the indole alkaloid is a prenylated indole alkaloid. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the prenylated indole alkaloid is derived from a Malbranchea species. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein the Malbranchea species is Malbranchea aurantiaca or Malbranchea graminicola. 9. The method of claim 6 wherein the prenylated indole alkaloid is premalbrancheamide, malbrancheamide B, isomalbrancheamide B, malbrancheamide C, or isomalbrancheamide C. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the halogenation step is a chlorination step. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the halogenation step is a bromination step.
