Cl, Br, or I) or to organic halogen compounds. Most are HEME proteins, but some bromoperoxidases from algae are vanadium-containing enzymes. 

Other vanadium-containing enzymes appear to be particularly important the production of polybrominated compounds in the sea (8, 70). The va-idium peroxidases utilize hydrogen peroxide to oxidize bromide or iodide, obably to corresponding hypohalite ions, which then react with NOM to oduce polyhalogenated compounds (eq 17) (8, 70). 

Vanadium-containing enzymes, mainly V-complexes of pyridines 04CRV849. 

Vanadium ions take part in some an important processes occurring in biological systems [62]. One vanadium-containing enzyme, bromoperoxidase, has been isolated from several species of marine brown algae. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of the bromide anion by hydrogen peroxide, resulting in the bromi-nation of organic compounds ... 

Oxidation with H2O2 catalyzed by MoOa also has been shown to mimic the action of vanadium-containing enzymes [109].
