Benzoyl‐CoA reductases (BCRs) and 2‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA dehydratases (HAD) contain Fe–S clusters and catalyse two (at first glance, unrelated) mechanistically difficult reactions. The common feature of this family is a stoichiometric (BCR) or catalytic (HAD) ATP hydrolysis; this drives electron transfer from a ferredoxin to a CoA thioester, thus generating an extremely low‐potential ketyl radical.
