GENETICS AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF DEHALOGENATING ENZYMES [PDF]
, 1994 Microorganisms that can utilize halogenated compounds as a growth substrate generally produce enzymes whose function is carbon-halogen bond cleavage. Based on substrate range, reaction type and gene sequences, the dehalogenating enzymes can be classified

A Caveat When Using Alkyl Halides as Tagging Agents to Detect/Quantify Reactive Sulfur Species
Antioxidants, 2022 Using alkyl halides to tag reactive sulfur species (RSSs) (H2S, per/polysulfide, and protein-SSH) is an extensively applied approach. The underlying supposition is that, as with thiols, RSS reacts with alkyl halides via a nucleophilic substitution ...
