Abstract Lipases can catalyze halogenations (see scheme for an example) under the same experimental conditions as “metal‐free haloperoxidases”. This activity should, therefore, not be attributed to a new unique class of enzymes, or even to metal‐free haloperoxidases, but should rather be regarded as a side activity of well‐known hydrolases.
