How does the catalytic set‐up of a hydrolase activate H 2 O 2 for enzymatic oxidations? The oxidizing species is a peracid, as these studies with the metal‐free haloperoxidases CPO‐P and CPO‐T clearly show. The analogy between the hydrolase and haloperoxidase reactions is elucidated in the reactions below.
